Puerto Vallarta Romance
Ross Mathews and Wellinthon Garcia’s love story began in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, just before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Their initial encounter by the hotel pool was marked by Mathews’ friendly introduction, which Garcia reciprocated with a simple, “Hi, I’m Dr. Wellinthon Garcia,” unaware of Mathews’ celebrity status. At the time, Mathews was residing in Palm Springs, while Garcia, originally from the Dominican Republic, lived in New York, working in education.
The pandemic forced them into a long-distance relationship, with travel restrictions keeping them apart from March until almost August. Despite the challenges, they nurtured their connection through virtual dates on platforms like Zoom and FaceTime. Mathews recalled creatively adapting to the situation with activities like Taco Tuesdays and synchronized movie watching, deepening their bond in ways they might not have explored otherwise.
As restrictions eased and Mathews became a regular guest on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” he spent more time in New York City, strengthening their relationship further. In February 2021, Mathews excitedly announced their engagement on the show. The couple’s journey came full circle when they tied the knot at the Almar Resort in Puerto Vallarta, the very place where they first met, in May 2022. Adding a unique touch to their special day, Drew Barrymore served as the flower girl in their joyous ceremony.
While the couple’s love story began in Mexico, their journey has continued to flourish in the spotlight, with Mathews recently appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” for Halloween festivities, dressed as the iconic Dolly Parton.
Ross Mathews’ heartfelt Instagram post serves as a testament to the enduring love and happiness that he and Wellinthon Garcia have found in each other, inspiring warmth and positivity among their followers.
