EJ Havens was born and raised right here in the Flathead Valley. He attended the Whitefish school system, competed in high school sports, and spent time with his family and friends. Nina Thew was born in Las Vegas, NV. Her and her family moved to the Flathead Valley back in 2010 where she also attended the Whitefish school systems. Nina met EJ in high school where a friendship was formed. It wasn't until 2021 when Nina and EJ actually kindled their existing friendship into a relationship. Might sound cheesy but their relationship started at the Palace Bar in downtown Whitefish where they spent the evening catching up, laughing, and developing feelings for one another. Since then they have been inseparable. They have been together for over three years now. They are so excited to celebrate their love with all their loved ones and friends!
