DeAnna Pappas Pays Tribute to 'Patient' Husband Stephen Stagliano on National Spouses Day
A reason to celebrate! DeAnna Pappas headed over to Instagram on Tuesday to pay tribute to her husband, Stephen Stagliano, on National Spouses Day.
“I hear it’s #nationalspousesday so I couldn’t dare let another minute go by without showing you all how patient my husband is to put up with me #ilysm,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself embracing Stephen with her right leg wrapped around him.
The former Bachelorette also challenged her followers to come up with a funny caption to accompany the shot. “I’ll go first, ‘DeAnna, you’re too big for me to hold you like a baby,’” she joked.

DeAnna — who married Stephen, the brother of “Bachelorette” Season 5 alum Michael Stagliano, in October 2011 — frequently shares sweet snaps from dates with her hubby via social media.
Most recently, on January 22, the couple — who share daughter Addison, 6, and son Austin, 4 — indulged in a cozy Friday night in at their Southern California home, drinking wine and watching TV. And on January 20, the pair enjoyed a daytime outing in which they ate fast food together in their car.
During an August 2020 interview with Rachel Lindsay and Becca Kufrin for their “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, DeAnna explained why she is grateful for her marriage with Stephen.
“I’m not saying our marriage is perfect. We have definitely weathered some serious storms, and I am thankful to be where we are now to think we have come out the other side,” DeAnna said at the time. “That’s the beautiful thing about marriage. We are committed to each other and our family and making things work, and that’s deep down below the dirt.”
She added, “I think that’s the beautiful thing that I never felt before I met Stephen, that I would find a partner that would fight for us.”
