Though Chris and Kat’s paths had been crossing for years—attending the same middle school, high school, and college (WAR EAGLE!)—it wasn’t until December 2023 that their paths finally intersected. On December 21st, they went on their first date to Murphy Candler Park with Kat’s dog, Nellie, in tow. Initially, they thought they’d take a quick lap around the park and part ways. As they circled back to their cars, Chris suggested another lap around the park and offered Nellie some water. With a doggy travel bowl and a bottle of water in hand, he sealed his fate. If you know Kat, you know the fastest way to her heart is through her fur baby. After Chris hammered Kat with a thousand questions, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. From that day on, not a single day passed without them talking. Nellie and Roux got to meet a short few months later and are thrilled to officially become sisters!
