Hunter and Katie have known each other since elementry school! While Katie had a small crush on Hunter throughout middle school and high school, the timing to tell him was never right. Hunter and Katie met again by chance at a New Years party in 2019 and decided to be each other New Year's kiss. This kiss sparked an interest but as Hunter lived in California at the time, the timing was yet again not right. While there was a mutual attraction for the next few years and being each other's "what if", Hunter and Katie finally got the timing right in 2022 when their mutual friend Wyatt informed the two that both were single! Hunter called Katie two minutes after Wyatt's message to ask her on a date. The rest was history!
