Kalani Hilliker Weds Nathan Goldman in Lake Como Ceremony with Dance Moms Family in Tow

Hey, Riley here with the spill from Lake Como, where Kalani Hilliker just sealed the deal with Nathan Goldman. I’m kicking off this slice of celebrity life with a slice of realness: Kalani Hilliker, the Dance Moms alum, married Nathan Goldman in a Lake Como ceremony on September 17. The wedding drew a crowd of fellow Lifetime alums and friends who know how to celebrate in style, and the energy was very Italy meets reality TV gold. Kalani, now 24, announced the engagement publicly in August 2024, making the quick turn from “we’re planning forever” to “we’re finally here” feel like a well-choreographed finale.

Let’s set the stage. The couple’s Italian wedding vibe wasn’t just about the vows. It was a full week of festivities that read like a dream photo dump: a villa full of best friends, a pasta making class in honor of the occasion, and a roster of guests who know how to keep the vibe light and high-energy. Kalani’s caption content on Instagram painted a picture that fans have been itching to see up close: a blush of romance, rose petals, candlelit moments, and a couple’s kiss that felt like it came straight from a romance playlist. Nathan Goldman, who works as an engineer for Commonwealth Associates according to his LinkedIn, stood by Kalani during the big moment, and the pair share a moment that reads as very “best friends who decided to lock it in forever.”

The on-paper facts are straightforward, but the social media narrative adds the gloss. Kalani posted a video of her first post-wedding dip at Lake Como—yes, she jumped into the chilly waters in a beige bikini, tagging the moment with a cheeky, “1st dip as a WIFE!!!!” The accompanying clip, scored to Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look Tonight, showed the newlyweds hand in hand as they leapt into the water, a move that pretty much captured the mood: playful, romantic, and unmistakably celebratory. The moment wasn’t solely theirs, either. JoJo Siwa attended the celebration and posed in photos with Kalani, signaling a supportive, sisterly bridge between their eras of reality TV fame. Kalani’s social feed gave followers a real-time sense of the party, with an Instagram Story showing a villa full of “best friends” and a caption that said, “We feel like we are living in a dream.”

If you’re a Dance Moms stan or a reality TV devotee who follows trajectory arcs, this wedding is less about a simple ceremony and more about a community event. Kalani and Nathan’s Italy chapter started with a lavish candlelit proposal last August 2024, giving fans a sense that the couple’s narrative has always been about a grand, public display of affection. Kalani’s captions at the pasta-making class—“Started off our Italian wedding week with a pasta making class with our bffs”—reads like a rom-com in motion, and the snapshots from the event reinforce that this is a couple who wanted the world to see not just a union, but a lifestyle shift toward shared adventures and a collective celebration with close friends.

It’s not just a personal milestone; it’s a cultural moment for fans who’ve watched Kalani evolve from reality TV stage to a more adult, adult-life reality. The wedding’s guest list reads like a mini “where are they now” mirror for the Dance Moms universe, with the attention kept intentionally warm, nostalgic, and light. The couple’s Instagram narrative continues to ride the wave of genuine affection, a vibe that begs the question: what comes next for Kalani and Nathan? Will we see more public anniversary celebrations, more Italy trips, or perhaps a new set of shared projects that blend Kalani’s dance background with Nathan’s engineering life in a way that fans can track and replay?

What to watch next: keep an eye on Kalani’s posts for candid rehearsal updates, potential dance collabs or appearances with the Dance Moms cast, and whether this newlyweds’ chapter will include future travels or milestone milestones that fans can decode from their captions and stories.
