In March of 2015, they both attended a concert at the Miramar Theatre in Milwaukee. During a part of the concert, the artist told the crowd to move closer to the stage. As the crowd shifted forward, DJ got pushed into Anna. They quickly hit it off and spent the rest of the concert in each other's company. The first three years of their relationship was long distance while DJ finished up college at UW- Stevens Point. They took turns driving two and a half hours every weekend to see each other. After DJ graduated, he moved to Waukesha and got an apartment with Anna.
