Grace is a super-private person, but the couple is believed to have gotten together sometime around 2016. In a Great Jones Goods post, it was revealed she worked in fashion for a time, but relatively, she keeps it pretty private.

David, for his part, was engaged to PR executive Gloria Lee in 2013. A Vogue profile at the time said that the couple had broken off the engagement but were still working things out.

David shared in interviews that they had tied the knot in 2017. Though they tried to keep it under wraps, somehow, as David later told Eater, his friend and business partner Chef Christina Tosi found out they were getting married and sent the couple a cake.

"We eloped and somehow Christina Tosi found out beforehand and sent a cake. We had the chocolate chip passion fruit Milk Bar cake," he said. David said Christina declared the cake to be his "favorite," though he isn't sure he ever said that.
