Brayden and Tatum met in March of 2021 through social media. Those who know Brayden, know he isn't much of a talker, so Tatum was really having to try her hardest to pull a conversation out of him. Once she finally got him talking, they decided to go on their first date whenever Brayden came home for the weekend from Tarleton. On that Friday evening, they went bowling and ate at one of their now all time favorite spots, El Mexicano Grille. That next Saturday, they hung out that night at Tatum's house and just got to know each other a little bit more. That next Sunday was Easter, but that didn't stop them from seeing each other. That night Brayden drove Tatum up and down the backroads of Waxahachie while they just talked and listened to music. That night, Brayden asked Tatum to be his girlfriend. It didn't take long for the two to hit it off and fall in love. This is the first real relationship that either of them have been in, so it was a little scary at first, but once they knew, they just knew.
