Kiana & Matt met in 2017 while both attending NYU, where Kiana was on the dance team & Matt was on the baseball team. With Matt graduating a few months later with no plans to stay in NYC, the time was not right. Staying in touch as friends for the next few years, their situation changed when Matt learned he would be moving back near NYC for work in 2023. This then led to him reconnecting to see if Kiana would be open to finally giving it a shot as a couple. Thankfully for him, she was just as excited at the possibility as he was. From their first date (whichever one you consider to truly be the first date) it was clear that this was something special.
