This will be the first marriage for Thomas and the second for Baldwin, who was formerly married to actress Kim Basinger.

All of a sudden I found myself where I was available to have something more real in my life, said Baldwin of Thomas during an interview with the Daily Beast last fall. And now I'm going to move in with her. It's the most serious thing, I guess, I've had in a long, long time.

The couple is well-known for frequently displaying their affections for one another over exchanges on Twitter. Thomas, who was born in Mallorca, Spain, studied dance and art history at NYU. She is currently a yoga instructor and co-owner of New York Yoga Vida yoga studio.
