Dale Earnhardt Jr. spent his New Year’s Eve soaking up the sun on a beach in Anguilla, alongside his wife, Amy Earnhardt. The couple celebrated a special milestone, marking eight years since their wedding on December 31, 2016. To honor their anniversary, the pair took some time to relax and enjoy the warm weather, sipping drinks by the ocean. It was the perfect way to ring in the new year and reflect on their journey together.
Dale Jr. and Amy have built a beautiful life together, having weathered both challenges and triumphs. Their relationship has grown steadily over the years, and it was only fitting they celebrated this significant anniversary together despite their busy schedules.
The story of their romance began when Dale Jr. hired Amy’s interior design firm to renovate his North Carolina home. They kept their relationship private for two years, and their first public appearance together was in 2011 during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Champions Week. Six years later, Dale Jr. proposed while they were on vacation in Germany, and the couple married soon after at Richard Childress Vineyards. They are parents to two daughters, Isla Rose, 6, and Nicole Lorraine, 4.
In a heartwarming Instagram post, Amy shared, “Spent the last few days in Anguilla celebrating our 8th anniversary! Hard to believe it’s been that long and hoping for many, many more. Love you, Ralph. Happy New Year everybody!” Earlier, she had posted several Instagram stories from their trip, though she kept the location private for their own peace of mind. The pictures featured palm trees, blue skies, and serene beaches—perfect elements for a romantic getaway.
It appeared that the couple’s anniversary celebration was a private affair, as their kids were not present, making the moment even more special. They shared happy selfies together, radiating joy in each other’s company. As the night drew to a close, Amy posted images of fireworks, marking the end of a memorable celebration. While it’s unclear if the couple toasted with their brand of High Rock Vodka, which they launched in 2022, it’s clear their bond remains strong. Additionally, they have appeared together on a reality show, Renovation Realities: Dale Jr. & Amy, and are advocates for couples therapy.
In a more lighthearted moment, Amy revealed some of Dale Jr.’s quirks on the Dale Jr. Download podcast. She shared an amusing story about his secret stash of candy, which Dale Jr. had hidden in their house. Amy discovered this when their housekeeper found small cinnamon-scented pebbles under the couch, which turned out to be remnants of Dale Jr.’s favorite fireball candy. This revelation made him laugh, and he admitted that bringing Amy on the podcast might have been a “mistake.”
Dale and Amy’s relationship is a testament to enduring love and commitment, even in the public eye. Despite the challenges, they continue to grow stronger and more in love each year, with hopes for many more years of happiness ahead.
