Jonathan Bennett Jokes He's Learned How to Put the Toilet Seat Down While Married to Jaymes Vaughan (Exclusive)

Jonathan Bennett learned a thing or two during his marriage to Jaymes Vaughan.

Groom star, 43, opened up to PEOPLE at the Dance Party to End ALZ: The Halloween Edition at AVALON in Los Angeles on Oct. 27 about the lessons he’s learned since marrying Vaughan in March 2022.

“I’ve learned to always put the toilet seat down because we both like to sit down when we pee, and that’s too much information,” he said. “That’s true.”

On an even more serious note, he added, “I also learned that you can always be yourself unapologetically with someone who loves you.”

Bennett was joined by Hallmark’s head judge Melissa Peterman Searching for Mr. Christmas competition, which he hosts, who added of his relationship with Vaughan: “I’ll tell you what works. As someone who’s watched them together, they’re both rooting for each other.”

“And I think the key for everybody is that they’re both rooting for each other and they’re both feeling happy to be with that person,” she continued.

Bennett and Vaughan first met in October 2016 on a news program Celebrity page when the TV presenter interviewed Mean girls star. Bennett recalled in the 2021 interview Knot that when he first saw Vaughan, he thought he was “the most beautiful man” he had ever seen and immediately ran to the bathroom to fix his hair.

“I came out of the bathroom and his producer Jade was standing in front of me,” he said. “I asked her exactly this question: ‘Will I meet my future husband?’ And she said, ‘I think so.’ ”

However, Vaughan recalled how he and his now-wife felt “electricity” when they were photographed together. He said: “I love how he says it was love at first sight for him. As for me, I was ready to do my interview, get it done and get on with my day.”

The couple got engaged in November 2020 before tying the knot in March 2022 surrounded by family and friends in Mexico, in what Bennett described to PEOPLE as their “dream wedding.”
