It's fitting that Bailey and Austin spent many college evenings together, watching The Office, and yelling at characters Jim and Pam for not realizing their feelings for each other sooner. Bailey and Austin met in an acting class in the fall of 2016 at Luther College, and quickly became very close. The pair would spend almost every day together for their four years in school, and would adamantly deny anything romantic was going on. Though they did develop feelings for each other, it was not at the same time, and they went their separate ways when they were sent home from college in the spring of 2020. Bailey and Austin reconnected in the summer of 2021, and it was like their friendship hadn't missed a beat. They officially began dating in November of 2021, and were engaged in April of 2023.
