A few months prior to meeting one another, Mesa had just came back from her trip abroad and was living in Florida. Meanwhile, Christian was focusing on his work in the film industry in Boston. Through mutual friends the two followed one another on Instagram. Christian took his shot and reached out to her in hopes they could get to know one another. They were living in completely different states but they continued talking through text until eventually having their first date at Lucky Strike in Fenway, and boy was it a stroke of luck they met when they did. It was love at first sight and from that day forward, they spent more days together than apart.
