Mayra and Gustavo met at a baile in Chico, CA in 2012. Mayra saw Gustavo and asked him to dance. Gustavo didn’t know how to dance, so Mayra taught him and they danced the night away. However Mayra soon left to UC Berkeley and Gustavo eventually moved to South Carolina for his family business. The summer of 2021, Gustavo and Mayra were both home visiting their families. They met up at a baile just like old times. They end up dating long distance and on October 14, 2023, they got engaged at the Biltmore Estate Winery in North Carolina. They plan to live in South Carolina.
