Tyler and Tessa met as sophomores when they were 16, they became good friends but lost touch after high school. In April of 2018 they started spending time together again. They both quickly realized how much they enjoyed each other’s company and were inseparable. They would go hiking, ice skating, long boarding and camping. During a camping trip on August 4th 2018 Tyler asked Tessa to be his girlfriend and of course she said yes! Tyler and Tessa moved to Vernal, Utah in 2021 for a fresh start to get out of the city. On July 27th 2023 they welcomed their sweet baby boy Tucker Rex Merrell into the world. They love spending all of their spare time together with Tucker and their 3 dogs Arnold, Luna and Clover.
