Jose and Nora finally connected after graduating from high school, even though they had gone to junior high and high school together and shared a few mutual friends. The first spark came when one of their friends posted a picture of Nora on Instagram and tagged her in it. According to Jose, he thought, "Oh, she's cute," and decided to follow her. At that time, Nora wasn't aware of her new follower. Jose later admitted that he followed, unfollowed, and then followed her again in hopes of catching her attention. True to his character, Jose patiently waited for the right moment to "hit her up." In July 2019, Nora posted a selfie with a Bad Bunny song playing in the background. This post turned out to be the icebreaker. Jose replied to her story, and from there, they started bonding over our mutual love for Bad Bunny and discovered other shared interests.
