It all began in 2021 when a little serendipity (and some great mutual friends) brought them together. They had both just moved to Boston, when Kristen and her roommate Jolene threw a party. Jolene's boyfriend Teddy invited his friends, and in walked Benjamin. Their first interaction was a simple "hello," but a spark lingered. Fate intervened at the next party—this one hosted at Ben’s apartment—where they finally struck up a conversation...and haven't stopped yapping since. In August 2024, after a few years of unforgettable memories, Ben proposed in the heart of Malasaña, Madrid.
