Alex and Chris met on a Kanye West fan forum website in 2011. Alex posted on the forum asking if anyone wanted to meet up at the Watch the Throne tour in Kansas City, because she was going alone. Chris responded yes, and they exchanged contact info. Alex was living in St. Louis and Chris was living in Des Moines but they both traveled alone to KC and met up at the concert. They remained friends and met up at more Kanye concerts through the years. In 2016, 2 years after Chris had moved to Chicago, Alex drove to meet him there for yet another Kanye concert. That was when Alex finally opened her eyes and realized the love of her life had been waiting there the whole time.
