Brandon messaged Kanui back in July of 2018 online. They got to talking and really cliqued from their mutual interests in sports and the outdoors! Brandon asked Kanui out a few times but she kept blowing him off. After a couple of months of persuing her Kanui met with Brandon in September and they had their first official date. They went on the moonlight lift ride at Sundance and stayed up all night talking and have been best friends since!
