Alex sent Emma a direct message on Instagram on a Tuesday night in January of 2023. The very next day, he strategically hopped on the stationary bike during a UC baseball lift, right next to Emma, who was on the treadmill during her UC dance team lift. They chatted it up, and he asked Emma out on a coffee date the following week. After only two weeks of dating, they said, "I love you," and well, the rest is history. P.S. Rumor has it Emma didn't follow Alex back on Instagram at first, so he unfollowed her and re-followed her to get her attention. Never give up, fellas!
