Their love story began on March 23, 2024, at a cozy, dive bar called, The Phoenix, in Beverly Hills, CA. After two weeks of exchanging texts, Gabrielle decided to ask David out for drinks. When they met, there was an instant connection, almost as if it were love at first sight. They spent two hours deep in conversation, completely engrossed in each other, as the bar around them grew quiet and nearly empty. Two drinks in, they spontaneously decided to search for dessert, something for which they both are passionate. Walking through the nearby streets, they checked out restaurant menus before landing at a hookah lounge where they found the perfect bite—a slice of semolina cake. As the night came to an end, David walked Gabrielle to her car, and she offered him a drive to his. When they said goodbye, she had hoped for a kiss, but instead, he asked if he could see her the next day. Without hesitation, she said yes.
