They met in 2017 when Gabriela had just moved to the UK and started as receptionist in Sheraton Heathrow. Agnello was duty manager at that time. They didn't become close until about September that year. Agnello would not let Gabriela work and was continuously troubling her to get her attention. They started going out for coffee after work and to the gym. Agnello would pick up Gabriela from work on a daily basis even if he was not on shift. He would do anything to make sure he would see her every day. Agnello won Gabriela's heart after he surprised her with flowers every week! They finally went on their first date on the 9th of December 2017.
Right after their first official date, Agnello changed jobs to a different hotel. At this point Agnello would spend most nights at Gabriela's house. They were paying two rents but Agnello would rarely stay at his for the few months to come. On the 21st of July 2018, the officially moved in together into a tiny studio. Little did they know that, in 3 months, they would be moving once again into a more spacious studio where they stayed for 3 years.
Gabriela was always passionate about dogs. When they first started dating Agnello was not able to tell the difference from a chihuahua and a labrador. Gabriela would point out every dog she would see on the way. In 2018, Gabriela and Agnello were watching a video clip of a song called "Nobody Compares to You" by Griffin. On the clip you can see numerous times a French Bulldog which they both fell in love. They became obsessed with Frenchies and would go crazy everytime they would see on on the street. In 2019, Agnello asked their landlord if he would allow them to add a dog to the studio. Fortunately, he said yes! In July 2019, they welcomed Oliver to the family. He has been a lovely addition since then.
In 2021, Agnello decided that they must move to their own place. It was always Gabriela's dream to have her own place and she had been saving money for this moment for a few years now. They started to look for a place that they could afford in London which was not easy! But they were determine to fulfill this dream. They spent 4 months trying to get a mortgage for a place that would never get a mortgage approved. Their search had to start all over again. That is when they found this newly built apartments just outside London which they bought and moved into in August that same year. They have spent a lot of time making this their home and they couldn't be happier with this accomplishment.
