The couple started dating on March 2nd in 2019. Kyle and Alena moved in to their first apartment in Monroe, WI where they lived for three years before moving back to the Quad Cities in March of 2023. Alenas sister was studying abroad in Europe so Kyle joined Alenas family on a ten day trip. During that trip, Kyle proposed in Edinburgh, Scotland right in front of the Edinburgh Castle.
