“[We met] back in Cincinnati. We met on Tinder,” the content creator shared. “She went to school for interactive media, so she did a whole bunch of different stuff. We went on a couple of dates, and we met back up by pure coincidence.”
He continued, “She was going to school originally in Boston, and then ended up in LA. I just happened to message her when I was back in Ohio, and said ‘let’s try again.’ [She said] ‘I’m in LA’ and I said ‘oh, what a coincidence, I live there,’ and so we started dating.”
