Amber and Deion were born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana and didn’t realize they lived five minutes away from each other. Although in different grades, they both attended Caddo Middle Magnet and didn't realized they also rode the same school bus. During Caddo Middle Magnet days, Deion and Amber knew of each other but weren’t friends. It’s actually ironic that their high schools, C.E. Byrd and Captain Shreve are rivals. Opposites really do attract! Their paths crossed a few times in high school and even once at Northwestern University freshman or sophomore year of college. It wasn’t until Deion transferred from Grambling State University to Louisiana Tech University that the magic began. Amber was already at Louisiana Tech and was the president of the Kappa Chi chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. Deion informed his friend that he was interested in Amber, and his friend informed one of Amber’s best friends, Lydia. Amber invited them to an on campus field day event that she helped coordinate for her sorority. After Deion showed with his friend and chose to not to be on Amber’s team (in his words to “not seem thirsty” 🤣, he then invited Amber over for game night and dinner where they exchanged numbers. A few months later, Deion asked Amber to be his girlfriend on 12.23.2013. On this day, the stars danced and they both knew this was their beginning to forever.
