Neil and Alexis met at the gym he was working for at the time. He said the first time he saw Alexis, he turned to his friend, who was also working there at the time, and said "I'm going to marry that girl". True story! He asked Alexis out for coffee at a local spot, which turned into dinner and a showing of the new Star Wars movie. They became good friends and eventually started dating in April 2016 : )
