Jaclyn and Matt met on New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2018 at Ladder 15 in Philadelphia. Coincidently, Matt's childhood friends became friends with Jaclyn in college and the group got together to ring in the new year. The two first talked one on one while Matt was chanting "Fly Eagles Fly" throughout the bar but Jaclyn was not easily convinced by Matt's impressive chanting. Going back to her friends, Jaclyn swore that she would not be into Matt but they all didn't believe her (and even placed bets if the two would get together). Well, about an hour later and the clock striking midnight, the two shared their first kiss. The rest is pretty much history after that and they have not been apart since.
