Addison Rae’s father, Monty Lopez, has wasted no time tying the knot with his new girlfriend.

Lopez married Kaitlyn Nicole Robins at the Little Chapel of Hearts in Las Vegas on Saturday, about two weeks after first meeting her at a bar in Louisiana.

He told TMZ that he did not tell anyone about his shotgun wedding and that there were no guests at the ceremony. “I just followed my heart, and I've never been happier. I love this woman!” Lopez said.

Since the pair met weeks ago, Lopez said they had been inseparable, with him even calling her “my future wife” while staring at her one night. Quickly after that comment, he proposed to her without an engagement ring, and they were married 12 hours later.

The Independent has contacted Rae’s representatives for comment.

Lopez, 49, married “Diet Pepsi” singer Rae’s mother, Sheri Easterling, first in 2004 and then again in 2017 after rekindling their romance. The couple also share sons Enzo, 17, and Lucas, 12, and Lopez has a fourth child, daughter Macye, from a previous relationship.

Lopez and Easterling’s second divorce took place in 2022 after a 25-year-old woman named Renée Ash accused Lopez of “misleading her” into an affair and lying about his marriage.

Rae did not directly address her father’s actions or rumored infidelity, but she did post on X about struggling to be active on social media around the same time Lopez was making headlines.

“I’ve really been struggling to post and get out and do things but I love you all and you mean so much more to me than I can ever express,” her 2022 post read. “My life is forever changed thanks to all of the people who decided to care about me and support me. I love y’all <3 life is weird but worth it.”

Easterling also posted about the accusations of her now ex-husband sharing a message on her Instagram Stories at the time.

“Personal matters being brought public are always challenging and overwhelming for anyone involved,” she wrote. “I will be okay. My biggest concern is — and always will be — my children and their fragile hearts and minds. I will always do my best to protect them.”

Following her and Lopez’s second divorce, Easterling was spotted on the 2022 MTV VMAs red carpet kissing rapper Yung Gravy.

Lopez seemed to respond to the moment as he posted on his Instagram Story that he was “unbothered.”

“Thank you @youngravy for taking the leftovers!”
