As 2021 progressed, the two began to talk more and learn more about each other's lives, interests, etc. At one point, towards the middle of the year, Bella threw out the idea of going on a date. Grayson was unsure, and the idea fizzled out for the time. After several months of pursuit from Bella and growth in the relationship, Grayson said okay, and the two went out on a date.

The relationship grew and became official in December of 2021. During the duration of their dating, they endured 2.5 years of long distance while Grayson was at college and waited for Bella to hopefully end up joining him as she was beginning her college journey herself. She got accepted to CWU and ended the long distance in September 2023. Grayson graduated from CWU in June 2024, but stayed in Ellensburg as Bella had one year of college left to complete.
