Connor and Kennedy first met at Connor's New Student Orientation for the University of South Carolina in July of 2019. Connor, in true Connor fashion, had waited to sign up for Orientation and was left with one of the last sessions, where Kennedy was his Orientation Leader.

Throughout the fall of 2019, Kennedy had reached out to Connor to check in as she did with the majority of her students. And in December, she learned from a mutual friend that Connor was single! Between January and April of 2020, Kennedy and Connor would occasionally talk on social media, and on one night during lockdown, Kennedy sent Connor her number. A few weeks later the pair had their first date in Columbia, SC, and a few weeks after that Kennedy spent the weekend with Connor and his family in Amelia, VA where he asked her to be his girlfriend.
