Robert and Karen met at Jessica’s Friendsgiving Party on November 2019. Robert played it cool as he soon realized Karen’s brother Gary was at the party. In March 2020 Robert surprised Karen by showing up to a brunch hosted by some mutual friends. They soon became inseparable but then Covid lockdown happened. They were both distraught that they had finally met someone special but couldn't spend time with one another. However they stayed in contact during the lockdown with weekly FaceTime “dates". In the beginning of June they had their first official date. It felt so easy being with each other. They officially became a couple on June 20th 2020.
