A long and confusing story cut short…Joel and I first crossed paths at a New Year's Eve party in my stepfamily's home. He grew up with my stepbrothers, and since my mom began dating their father (now my stepdad), we were invited. That night marked the beginning of our incredible relationship. Joel and I continued to talk over the next few days and went on our very first date to see Jumanji 2 in theaters, we officially started dating on January 26th 2020.
