- Victoria Potter (2018-Present) – On January 12, 2018, Victoria came to the Meet & Greet session before Danny’s show in Kansas City, Missouri. She was a member of the United States Navy personnel at that time. After the initial introduction, Danny was so enamored with her that he waited for Victoria to tag his band on social media so he could find who she was. Once she did, the next morning, he contacted her immediately. Danny even flew around 1k miles from Canada to the United States just to see her in person again but, of course, didn’t reveal that fact as to not look desperate. Luckily, they hit it off and began dating later that month, and Danny decided to take a longer residence with her, as she was still in the Navy. A few months later, on August 5, 2018, during his performance at a show in Columbus, Ohio, Danny proposed to Victoria. Victoria later shared that she has never been in a relationship where fights were absent, but because Danny communicated openly and constantly, it became the best relationship she has ever been in. In December 2018, Victoria announced that she and Danny were planning their wedding. In early May 2019, Danny took residence in Jacksonville, Florida, the United States with Victoria, who was still on active United States Navy duty.
