In September of 2020 a mutual friend, Chelsea, was in town visiting Giselle in Philadelphia and wanted to take a quick weekend getaway to New York City. While grabbing drinks at a rooftop bar Chelsea invited Isaiah to join, whom she had been friends with while living in the Bahamas. It was Isaiah's last weekend in New York, as he was moving to Philly that week for work. For the next couple of months Giselle and Isaiah's friendship grew romantic which eventually lead to their first date.
