From prom dates to soulmates, RJ and Kristen met in elementary school when they shared a class together. Although RJ wrote Kristen a letter in 4th grade, it wasn’t until junior year of high school that they became friends. They shared their first kiss on June 23, 2012. They later went on to spend Senior prom together and both attended the University of Delaware. They spent a year apart after college graduation but couldn’t stay apart and reunited in 2018. They shared their first apartment together in 2019 in Hoboken, NJ and later adopted their dog, Max, in April of 2020. They got engaged on Long Beach Island on August 15, 2020. RJ had Kristen’s family surprise her by showing up at the beach right afterwards and they had a lovely engagement party with their immediate families. They currently reside in Charlotte, NC after moving there in January 2022.
