On February 13th 2021 with the guidance of Emily Jessop (John's eldest sister), John downloaded "Hinge", a dating application which she had used to meet her boyfriend. Emily and Suz Dawson (John's step-mother) then assisted while John swiped through potential matches. John matched with Tamarra Giles and they immediately began talking. The odd thing about the whole situation is that they later realized that neither of them had their distance settings for matches set so that they should be able to have matched. This led John to believe that it was simply fate. Due to travel restriction John and Tamarra weren't able to physically meet until March of the following year but had continued talking the entire time. John was utterly smitten with Tamarra and meeting in person just strengthened the bond they shared. June 3rd 2022 their relationship became official and they continued to visit as frequently as they could. On June 18th 2023 while on a family trip to Cancun with John's father and step-mothers side of the family John proposed to Tamarra during the family photo shoot on the beach and Tamarra said yes. The rest as they say is history.
