Kallen and Kevin met when a mutual friend introduced them at karaoke. They had narrowly missed each other many times before for months and it was only by chance that they crossed paths this time. They instantly became good friends and, ultimately, began dating in May of 2023. They fell in love with the background of the blue ridges. Their major relationship milestones took place on camping trips and in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They both realized they had feelings for the other (without sharing this information) when they went on their first camping trip in Union, SC. They first said "I love you" over a breakfast of campfire toast on their A-Frame "glamping" trip in Mills River, NC. At the peak of Mount Mitchell, the highest point East of the Mississippi River, Kevin proposed. They share a love of hiking and camping, cats, Lord of the Rings, live music, dancing, and good food.
