No really—back in 2020 at ENG, I (Tabitha) needed a spot when I had to ask Jon to spot me. It could rank as one of the most awkward spots of all time. I was married at the time, so naturally, this was nothing more than a “thanks for saving me from collapsing under this barbell” moment.

But life, as we all know, is basically a messy, sweaty powerlifting workout. Fast forward to 2021: I was going through a divorce, and somehow Jon went from gym buddy to best friend. We talked, we laughed, we lifted heavy things (literally and emotionally). I wasn’t looking for love—I was just trying to make it through the chaos.

Then BAM. Somewhere between deadlifts and deep convos, it happened. Love snuck in when I wasn’t paying attention—probably during accessories.

Jon didn’t just fall for me. He showed up for my three boys like an absolute legend. And in 2023, we added one more to our crew—our son, the tiny boss baby who sealed the deal.

In March 2025, Jon asked me to marry him. I said yes (after making him sweat for a second—you know, for dramatic effect).

Now here we are—blending lives, kids, protein shakes, and love. And we’re inviting you to join the celebration of this wild, wonderful, unexpectedly perfect ride.
