Aleyna and Nick first met at Duquesne (South Side to be exact) in September 2017 at a day party. Aleyna made the first move, but if you ask Nick he'll say he was just playing hard to get. They hit it off, and after a few weeks, Nick asked Aleyna to be his girlfriend at Millie's ice-cream, the inspiration behind the name of their first dog. The next 6 years were filled with study dates, graduation(s), starting new jobs, moving in together and raising their fur babies, Millie and Margot. Finally, in August 2023, Nick proposed at Pensacola Beach, surrounded by some of their closest family. It will be close to 8 years that Aleyna and Nick have been together. And while a lot has changed since their college days, their favorite thing is still getting takeout and watching a good show together.
