In 2016 at ASU, Thomas was a junior and Maddy was a sophomore. Through mutual friends, Maddy & Thomas had met a few times, however it wasn't until one night in Spring 2016 where Thomas finally had the courage to ask Maddy for her number. One night, they decided to meet up at a friend's house to hang out. Thomas asked Maddy out on a date the following day to a spring training game. The rest as they say, is history! From there, they began dating, moved in together, became dog parents, and got engaged in December 2020.
