Hailey, a cheerful and determined young woman from Fayetteville, Arkansas, grew up as an only child under the care of her late mother, Leslie Roye. She had a passion for cheerleading, dedicating a decade to bringing enthusiasm to the sport. Along with this, she showed cattle for 14 years, honing her skills in livestock competitions. Hailey graduated at the University of Arkansas with a degree in Biological Engineering in May 2023 and is planning on graduating with a degree in Animal Science in December 2023.

Ben, on the other hand, comes from Shreveport, Louisiana.

Growing up with two siblings, Anna and Gray and parents Amy and Creighton, he enjoyed playing baseball, football, and tennis. After completing his studies in Computer Science at the University of Arkansas, he secured a job as a software engineer at Walmart Headquarters.

Hailey and Ben's paths crossed during their time at the university when they met in 2020 when Ben was a sophomore and Hailey was freshman.

Together, Hailey and Ben embarked on a journey filled with love and shared adventures. Despite the challenges they faced, their connection grew stronger, and they discovered a deep bond that brought them joy and happiness. As they continue to navigate life together, their story unfolds with excitement and determination, weaving a beautiful tapestry of companionship.
