It all started with Erwin. As Bernie’s coworker and Jordan’s best friend, Erwin saw an opportunity when they both happened to be single. He tried to set them up—without telling them—but Bernie and Jordan didn’t think much of it. Instead, the three became close friends, spending years drinking coffee, going on photoshoots, and having late-night car talks. Over time, something shifted. What started as friendship naturally grew into something more. When they finally admitted their feelings, it just made sense. Being together felt easy—like it had been the right answer all along. Soon after, Bernie and Jordan moved to Portland, OR, adopted two cats named Basil and Panda, and built a life together.
