On Valentines Day 2019 Connor went out for a girls night with her friends Morgan and Rachel and had plans to meet up with some other girls on the softball team at a Shepherd basketball game after. At the game thanks to Leann Brown, Connor was introduced to John Michael. From that night forward they talked every day and decided to make it official prior to Connor returning back to New Jersey after graduating. A little over a year after, Connor found a job in Virginia and told John Michael to make some room, she was moving in (sorry for the last-minute notice, Tanner!) On March 21st, 2025, John Michael somehow managed to surprise Connor in her childhood home by getting down on one knee.
