Tara and Todd met at the 2015 Sports Emmy Awards, when she presented him an award. Seven months later, they were engaged.
Reflecting on the night they met in a 2015 Instagram post announcing their engagement, Todd wrote: "7 months ago I was fortunate enough to be presented with a Sports Emmy award. Of the 45+ Emmys given out that night, @taralipinski happened to hand me mine."
"I didn't think much of it- aside from the fact she that she looked great in her blue dress. The next day I discovered that my Aunt had become friends with Tara while covering the Olympics a few years back," he went on, adding: "It took a little convincing, but @cjansing eventually agreed to introduce us. I'd imagine there are a thousand things that had to happen to get us on that stage together back in May. Crazy how life works."
They got married on June 24, 2017 at Middleton Place in Charleston, South Carolina with 245 guests in attendance, including Tara's fellow Olympic figure skater, Traitors co-star, and co-commentator Johnny Weir, who was part of her bridal party.

In October 2023, Tara confirmed that she and Todd had welcomed their first child together, daughter Georgie, born via surrogate. The couple had long been open about their struggles with fertility and trying to conceive, opening up about them on their podcast, Unexpecting, dedicated to the topic.
"I dreamt about this for so long," Tara told People when first sharing Georgie with the world, adding: "A crying baby, sleepless nights. Even when I'm like, 'Okay, take an hour nap,' I'm almost too excited. I'm like, 'She's there. Just watch her a little longer."
Little Georgie is currently traveling with her mom for the Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, where she is working as a commentator, and on February 18, she shared an adorable photo on Instagram
