Normandi and Jay were set up by their mutual friend and now Groomsman Cy Harkins. Cy reached out to Normandi in the summer of 2017 and said "when you're ready to seriously date again you should go on a date with my friend Jay". About a year later, in September of 2018, Jay added Normandi on Facebook without knowing of the potential set up. She knew he looked familiar but was hesitant. After bribing her to hang out and watch the first episode of the newest season of American Horror Story, the rest became history. He brought her soup when she was sick and attempted to surprise her with flowers on her doorstep. He cooked her dinner and helped take care of Blossom. Normandi moved in shortly after asking him to be her boyfriend September 29th, 2018 and Jay accepted with open arms and an open heart.
