Austin and Tatum met in 2017 when he was playing baseball for Lassen Community College and she was working at the local coffee shop, Joes. Austin was a regular, coming in every week before baseball games or practices to get his white mocha. While Austin didn’t just love supporting local businesses, he may have also had a secret crush on the local coffee shop girl. Unfortunately Tatum and Austin went their separate ways and reconnecting in 2022 when Austin moved home from playing baseball and graduating from Texarkana, TX. to soon be starting the Washoe County Police Academy. Tatum had just moved to Reno starting her job at REMSA. It started with Austin giving Tatum a ride home from the Reno rodeo, soon followed by a date to local burger joint, Beefys. Since the first date, Austin and Tatum have been inseparable.
