A serendipitous love story—proof that second chances are real. We met by fate, built a family with love, and never stopped believing in us.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
It all started with a 101-year-old woman named Rosa. I interviewed her for a story, and she gave me Allan’s business card to get a better photo. We spoke briefly, then reconnected months later through Instagram. A few messages led to our first date—and the rest is history. We’ve built a blended family full of love, surprises, and purpose.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Welcoming our son, AJ, into the world—something neither of us imagined would happen. Seeing Allan become a dad and watching our family come full circle was the most beautiful and emotional moment of our lives. It felt like the universe had been leading us to that day all along
What would you do with $20,000?We would put the money toward having a wedding to finally celebrate our love—a moment our kids can be part of. It’s important to us that they get to witness this chapter and feel the joy of our commitment as a family. It would be a celebration of love, second chances, and the life we’re building together.
