Kyle and Ariel went on their first date in February 2020 at the Wren restaurant in the East Village, New York City. Ariel showed up 45 minutes late. Kyle, the patient one, waited and what walked in through the door was his new best friend and soulmate. A few weeks later, Kyle and Ariel took shelter from the craziness of COVID in NYC and went home to Smithtown, Long Island where they discovered they grew up a mile a part from each other. Despite COVID protocols, they hung out every day and discovered each others love for the outdoors, traveling and dogs. They now live together on the Upper East Side, with their Dalmatian, Otis and could not be happier.
