On January 29, 2022, LaCourtney and La-Taris first met at LaCourtney's cousin's birthday party. La-Taris was invited by his uncle, who was a friend of the birthday girl's companion at the time. La-Taris watched as LaCourtney danced with her family on the dance floor and was captivated by her footwork. While the women were taking a picture, he couldn't take his eyes off her. After the picture, as LaCourtney was hugging her cousin, La-Taris seized the moment, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Can you take a picture with me next?" She smiled and said "yes." Immediately after that interaction, it was time for the men of the party to take a picture, LaCourtney slipped to the back of the room. Spotting her at the refreshments table, La-Taris saw his chance to approach her again. They ended up engaging in a lengthy conversation for the rest of the night, despite several interruptions from her immediate family members lol. They exchanged numbers that night, and have been inseparable ever since. #ADouglasLoveStory
