Tyler and Nicolas were introduced through friends in December of 2019 and started their relationship after reconnecting post-pandemic at a UT football game in September of 2021. After enjoying a Longhorn win, Tyler's mother insisted Nicolas stay the night in Austin with them and not drive back to San Antonio after a long day of tailgating (he happily slept on a rollaway in their hotel kitchenette that night). The two continued the evening downtown with friends where they spontaneously knelt for a picture in front of the State Capitol (peep below). It was nearly 18 months later that Nick knelt down for another reason— this time to ask Tyler to marry him. The couple was engaged on June 17th, 2023 at Torrey Pines Golf Course while vacationing with their parents in California. Footnote: Tyler thinks the proposal location was strategically picked so that Nicolas now has an excuse to visit the famed-course in the years to come. It’s also rumored that the couple could hear their friend Kelly, who introduced them and had been plotting the relationship well before its inception, screaming “I told you so” all the way from San Antonio.
