Jonathan and Charleigh had been good friends through their church and had worked together in their church's nursery for a few years. That time allowed them to get to know each other and become best friends. Jonathan left for college and throughout that time, they developed a long distance friendship that became very important to both of them. Their relationship became official after their first date on March 19, 2017 when they saw Beauty and the Beast. They dated long distance for over a year, then Jonathan finally moved back to Sacramento. Their relationship has grown into something amazing in the time they have been together and they love movie dates, trips to Disneyland, trying new food, and just hanging out and making each other laugh.

On one of their trips to Disneyland pre-COVID-19, Jonathan got down on one knee by the royal hall near Sleeping Beauty's castle. Jonathan knew a big crowd in front of the castle was not what Charleigh wanted, so he went for a more intimate setting. Just outside the royal hall is a replica of Rapunzel's tower (Charleigh's favorite princess movie), and a romantic window with a bench nearby. This is where Jonathan told Charleigh how much he loved her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her. Charleigh couldn't believe it was actually happening and she said yes! A small crowd of guests and Disneyland cast members had gathered and applauded as they kissed, just like in the princess movies, except the crowd gathered mainly because Charleigh summoned them with a loud bang from hitting her water bottle on a bench.
