James and Sariyah met on Tinder in January of 2022. They chatted back and forth for about a week when Sariyah had tested positive for Covid. James kindly offered to bring Sariyah some medicine and soup since she didn't have anyone to take care of her. Sariyah accepted this offer and thought he might bring over some Nyquil and Campbells. To her surprise, James showed up with 3 full bags of assorted soups, medicine, cough drops, and vitamins. From there, the happy couple began dating. Their first date was at a cozy Italian spot called Zia Marie. A few months later they met each others parents, and a year later James proposed. They share three adorable doggies named Loki, Odin, and Leia. Growing up, James was a Boy Scout, played soccer, and joined the wrestling team. Sariyah played soccer, ran track and field, and was a part of the cheer team. Their favorite thing to do together is hiking trails with the dogs.
