Jack and Stella have known each other since going to Mary Endres Elementary School in Woodstock, IL. They grew closer over the years participating in theater at school and over the summers. Both would admit to having "crushes" on each other in middle school and high school, but never acting on their feelings.

They grew apart after graduating high school and going to different universities. But after reaching out online and bonding over Tik Toks during the pandemic, their romance rekindled.

The first year of their official relationship was long distance. They enjoyed Zoom movie nights and playing online video games together for date nights. They graduated in 2021, one day apart and moved back to Northern IL.

In October 2022, they moved into their current apartment and eventually adopted their cat Amelie. Stella and Jack pronounced 2024 as their "Year of Improvement". In that time, Stella started a new job, bought a new car, Jack has displayed art at a local gallery, and proposed to Stella on July 16, 2024.
