Jake swiped right on Katia's Hinge profile in January 2024. They had their first date at Verve coffee in Manhattan beach. It was going so well that it extended into a sushi lunch where Jake over-ordered for Katia who had a modest first date appetite. Katia knew it was meant to be when she realized they both drove Subarus. They've been together everyday since. On the last day of 2025, Jake got down on one knee in Central Park and made Katia the happiest girl in the world.
