See Judge Greg Mathis’ Son’s Charming Engagement with a Man

In July 2024, Judge Greg Mathis Sr.’s son, Greg Jr., revealed that he was engaged. He and his fiancé posed for several pictures for the announcement, with the former confessing one of the things that held him back from revealing that he was dating.

“The Mathis Family Matters” star and Elliott Cooper are going to tie the knot in one of their “favorite vacation destinations,” Cabo San Lucas. The couple has set the date for their private ceremony on October 21, 2024.

The pair plans on having a second, bigger celebration for family and friends in 2025 in Los Angeles. Speaking to a publication, Greg Jr. said, “To be completely honest, for many years, we weren’t sure if we wanted to formally get married.”

The judge’s son revealed that he and Elliott knew they loved each other and wished to be lifelong partners, but “marriage seemed a bit more difficult to visualize.” The star’s fiancé noted how there weren’t “many married couples” like themselves to look up to.

But now they view their upcoming wedding as a “must-have” because representation is important in the LGBTQI+ community. The couple said getting married is bigger than the institution because it is more about them having “a special way to honor the life we have built together.”

The pair shared their awareness of the times we live in now and what their relationship “represents to others.” They realized that their relationship and marriage can guide young and old Queer people who, like them, “deserve to know that there is nothing wrong with them and that they have a place in this world.”

Elliott and Greg Jr. mostly look forward to spending quality time with each other and their families in Cabo. Since their families only met once before the celebration, the lovebirds can’t wait to see how Elliott’s family, who are into the outdoors and are Southern, blend in with Greg Jr.’s.

In contrast to his fiancé’s family, Greg Jr. described his as “city talking” and loud. The couple, who spent the first five years dating in private due to being “afraid to share our relationship with the world out of fear of being judged,” have activities lined up for the wedding weekend.

The attendees will enjoy special dinners, whale-watching, and wine tasting. Elliott revealed how important family is to both of them and their union, as it will unite their whole lives, including family. The couple courageously came out about their relationship on national television after Greg Jr.’s family decided on a reality show in 2022.

On September 29, 2023, Elliott proposed to the judge’s son at Los Angeles’ Republique French-themed restaurant. The establishment reminded them of their past anniversary trips to Paris. The country also happened to be the first place where they felt safe enough to hold hands.

Greg Jr. described Republique as their “little piece of Paris in Los Angeles.” Their friends and family were invited to the occasion under the pretense of supporting the pair at the 2023 Los Angeles Walk to End Lupus, which the couple hosted.

After having the first dinner course, Elliott proposed. His fiancé recalled how their loved ones “were so excited we couldn’t even finish the rest of our meal.” Still, what the judge’s son looks forward to is the honeymoon.

He said he hoped to convince Elliott to allow them to visit Bora Bora. The reality television star also can’t wait for them to start their family and to continue experiencing life together. He shared, “We are already a solid unit, but I’m excited for all of the added fun that the ‘Mathis-Coopers’ are going to have.”

Elliott, on the other hand, can’t wait for the first day of the rest of his life as someone’s husband. He said he was happy to spend the rest of his life with someone who loves him for who he is, including his crazy stories, quirks, and other random things he’ll dish out.

“With Greg in my life, I feel like our future has no limits, even though it might, because he is the love [of] my life,” the star’s fiancé concluded.

The pair would spend time watching fireworks on the beach, convening for private moments during parties, and sailing away on a boat for hours. “There could be a hundred people around, but when we were together, it felt like there was no one else in the world,” recalled Mariah of the fond memories.

After the pair got engaged, they agreed that they would get married at the beloved compound. With only eight months to make their dream wedding happen, Mariah and Tellef wasted no time reaching out to their loved ones, who were more than happy to be a part of the wedding planning process and lend their expertise.

Family members also read passages from the Bible about love prior to Mariah and Tellef exchanging vows they had written themselves. They then solidified their nuptials with the traditional breaking of the glass.

​​”It may sound trite, but marrying the man I love, Tellef, truly was a dream come true. Hearing Tellef speak his vows—about our love, our future together, and how we will raise our family—was deeply moving,” swooned Mariah.

After the ceremony, guests made their way inside Mariah’s grandmother’s house to enjoy some cocktails. The reception followed the cocktail hour and was held in the late John F. Kennedy’s former home, which now belongs to Mariah’s aunt and uncle.

Their front yard was used as the reception space, where a big white tent, adorned with lights and flowers, was pitched. Here is where Mariah cut her gigantic wedding cake. The beautifully classic dessert was so enormous that Mariah had to stand on a mini ladder, which her husband held onto, to reach the top.
