Jerry and I met in middle school we’ve known each other since 6th grade. Twenty years later, life brought us back together.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
I’ve always felt like there was an invisible string connecting us since we first met in 6th grade. I moved away during my sophomore year of high school, and one day, out of the blue, I saw Jerry at the front office getting his schedule—we were at the same school again. But just as quickly, he was gone after that semester. Fast forward 15 years… I’m getting my nails done, and who walks in? Jerry. His dad owns the shopping center and he happened to stop by the office. That moment felt like fate.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of my favorite memories is the night Jerry proposed at a J Balvin concert. We were dancing and singing when he suddenly disappeared. Twenty minutes later, the concert stopped, and I was called on stage. In front of thousands of people—and one of our favorite artists—he asked me to marry him. I said yes! It was magical, unforgettable, and I still happy cry every time I watch the video.
What would you do with $20,000?We’re currently living apart but planning to move in together by next March and get married next summer. Winning the $20,000 would help us start our next chapter and build a home where we can grow together.
