Zack and Laela went to high school together. Zack was a freshman when Laela was a junior (2010). Laela was a wrestling manager all throughout high school. Zack wrestled all 4 years of high school. One day at a wrestling tournament Zack stole Laela's phone and put his number in her phone and sent himself a message so he would have Laela's number. A few days later Zack text Laela and she wanted nothing to do with Zack. She thought he was a silly immature freshman. Fast forward to the summer of 2016, Zack and Laela were both back home from college and Zack messaged Laela on facebook and asked if she wanted to go get ice cream. They talked and hung out all summer and on August 14th 2016, Zack officially asked Laela to be his girlfriend.
