Samantha and Josue met in Newport News, VA in 2012 while at brunch with friends. A joke that Jo felt was funny enough to say in front of his whole table of friends sparked laughter and the pair spending almost every day together during college summer break. Though they both loved each other very much distance began to get the best of them when Samantha moved to Atlanta for a job. They remained friends for the coming years. In 2018 they reconnected when Samantha was staying in Maryland with her cousin. One night they decided to go out for a drink to catch up and the rest is history. They now share a beautiful baby boy, Uriah and pup, Cheddar all residing in the sunshine state.
