Kendall and Demontae met while running track and field at Lipscomb University in 2021. Due to the pandemic, Kendall gained an additional year of eligibility for track and field which caused their stories to collide. They first met each other at weights practice where Demontae introduced himself to Kendall. They had an instant connection and wanted to get to know one another. They talked in the courtyard of Lipscomb's campus under the string lights, had their first date at a farmer's market where they supported their teammate's lemonade stand, and grew to like each other. A few weeks later, Demontae decided he wanted to make things official with Kendall. In preparation, he decided to get a haircut because in his words "She can't say no if I have a haircut". Kendall decided that he was worth taking a chance with as this was her first relationship. She said yes and this was the beginning of their relationship filled with traveling, laughter, and great memories.
