Ryan Pepiot Wife Lilia Pepiot Is A Professional Ballerina With A Penchant For Traveling

Ryan Pepiot wife Lilia Pepiot is a professional ballerina. Lilia performed at American Contemporary Ballet after graduating in 2019.

Originally from Covington, Louisiana, Lilia was just four when she started her dance training under the direction of Constantine Apetri. 

Over the summers, she honed her classical and contemporary techniques at Kirov Ballet Academy, New Orleans Ballet Theatre, and Pittsburg Ballet Theatre.

It's no surprise that she studied Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Dance Arts Administration and that she was a part of the Butler University ballet dance group. She was an academic scholarship student.

In college, Lilia further learned many styles including ballet, jazz, modern, pas de deux, musical theatre, and African and Slovac character dance, studying under Marek Chowela, Ramon Flowers, and Derek Reid, among several other teachers.

The 5’8’’ lady performed soloist, corps, and principal roles in The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Giselle and Light Rain.

Furthermore, Lilia also got to perform as a touring artist in Europe in the summer of 2016. She danced in Poland, Austria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

Now, she departs the skills and knowledge she has. She is an experienced instructor for young dancers, holding expertise in early learning, choreography, and creative movement.

Besides, Lilia also has three years of experience working in human resources. She is the Senior Executive Recruiter at Blue Signal Search. She joined the recruitment company in September 2021 and has been working there for over a year.

Prior to joining SER, she worked at Groupe Insearch for over two years. She entered the company as a Project Associate in May 2020, being promoted to an Executive Recruiter in nine months.

Lilia (née Lawrence Poulsen) was born in Louisiana, to parents Dana and Kop Poulsen. She grew up with brothers Sawyer and Finn in New Orleans.

Sawyer is a former school athlete, who played varsity football in Mandeville High School. He then studied at University of Central Arkansas.

He is dating a budding artist and entreprenuer named Meghan Carollo, whom he regularly features on his Instagram.

On the other hand, Finn, who also played football at Mandeville High, later studied International Business and Management at Lousiana State University.

Ryan Pepiot and Lilia Pepiot married on 13 November 2021 after being together for four years.

Ryan and Lilia started dating in October 2017 after meeting in college. Both went to Butler University in their hometown of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Lilian graduated with an Arts degree in 2019, whereas Ryan did with Finance and Marketing in 2020.

Ryan shared a couple of their memories on the fourth anniversary of their relationship on 21 October 2021.

"Cheers to 4 years with the woman who inspires me to pursue my dreams and live life to the fullest! I can’t wait to call you my wife in just a few weeks! I love you," he captioned the post.

The pitcher first showed his girlfriend to the world on 20 December 2017, when he took to his Instagram to share a picture with her in front of Jackson Square in New Orleans.

Ryan followed it up by wishing her on her 21st birthday on 22 January 2018. She is exactly seven months older than her beau. From then on, Lilia has often been featured in the baseballer's account.

Both are extremely supportive of one another's careers. He would congratulate her on her graduation and wish her all the best for her European tour, while she would regularly visit his games to show him her support.

The couple also traveled around and visited several places from the start. They went to FrenchQuarter New Orleans in June 2018, followed by Hyannis in July 2018, Venice Beach in September 2019, Marco Island in December 2019, and Newport Beach in Jan 2020, to name a few.

So, it was not surprising when they planned on going to Dubai for their honeymoon. There, they tried out various adventures, like camel riding, desert safari, and on-air dinner, while spending quality time together.

Now, they are enjoying their post-marital life, where they've already been to France and Spain.
