Ryan and Lexi met at Eaton high school in the fall of 2019. Lexi saw Ryan walking across the street after the second day of school and immediately had a crush. They began to text and then eventually went on dates with each other. Ryan played hard to get, trying to focus only on baseball and claiming he didn't want a girlfriend... but in the end he fell in love with Lexi. They began dating February 14, 2020. The rest was history!
