Jake and Gabbie met each other in first period gym class in 7th grade (2013). They were friends throughout middle school and high school. Although it took quite some time for Gabbie to accept her feelings for Jake, they finally started dating their junior year of high school in June of 2018. They’ve been high school sweethearts ever since. They decided to continue their journey together and went to Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida. They got engaged at the Boston Harbor in December of 2023. After graduation, they moved in together back in Lakeland in July of 2024. Their new puppy, Holly, was born on Christmas night and they brought her home on Valentine’s Day!
