Trailblazing Jeopardy! contestant Amy Schneider has announced that she married girlfriend Genevieve Davis in a “small private ceremony” in May this year. 

The 43-year-old champ, who became the first woman to ever surpass $1 million in earnings on the quiz show, said she and Davis had married at a court house in California, and will be having a larger celebration next summer.

She previously shared that Davis popped the question in February while the couple were hosting a “happy hour” at their home with friends.

Posting on Instagram, Schneider said: “Genevieve and I are delighted to announce that on Monday, May 9, we were married in a small private ceremony at the Alameda County Recorder.

“We will still be having a traditional wedding and reception next summer, but our lives have been much too busy this year to get very far in planning it, and we couldn’t wait that long to proclaim our love and commitment to each other.”

She added on Twitter: “The year since [she appeared on Jeopardy!] has been full of good days… Without her, none of the other good days would have happened.”

A year ago today, I was in LA, waiting to fulfill a dream. The year since has been full of good days, but by far the best one was May 9th, when Genevieve and I got married. Without her, none of the other good days would have happened. I’m so lucky to share my life with her!
