Nikki and Bryant met freshmen year of high school and became very good friends by junior year through the St. Basils Youth Group. Nikki and Bryant became much closer after graduation but their career paths separated them soon after. Nikki attended college to become a registered nurse and Bryant enlisted in the U.S. Army, although they continued to keep in touch through social media. 8 years later while living in New Jersey, Nikki reached out to Bryant for more information and guidance in starting a Keto diet. They both reconnected and began to communicate everyday! At the end of 2017, when Nikki finally moved back home to the Bay Area, Bryant knew this was his chance to make a move because unbeknownst to Nikki, he had a crush on her for the longest time! Gym sessions led to a movie date, which then led to a date to Union Square during the Christmas time, and the rest is history!
