Natalie was dancing the night away with her best friends Jazmine and Chano at a local bar called Wando's in Madison, Wisconsin when Robert started to dance with her and asked her best friend for her phone number. Jazmine gave Robert Natalie's phone number and whispered to Natalie, "He seems so nice!" A week later, Natalie and Robert went on their first date. After spending all summer together, Natalie left for Los Angeles to go to graduate school. Robert and Natalie dated long distance for 7 months before deciding they did not want to be apart any longer, and Robert moved to Los Angeles...and the rest is history!
