Ricky and Tori met at Burges High School in 2015. Fate would have it that Ricky would be injured during a basketball practice and Tori was getting ready for a volleyball game. Knowing Tori’s outspoken and unapologetic personality, she marched straight up to Ricky to ask what exactly happened. After a good pep talk and telling him to toughen up, the two exchanged phone numbers. After three months of talking and Ricky going to see Tori play volleyball, the two began dating on November 28, 2015.
