Connect How did your love story begin?

We met on Tinder in 2021 in Las Vegas, both of us searching for something deeper—a partner to grow with and build a family. Our first date lasted six hours… and we haven’t stopped dating since. Naiah: At the end of that unforgettable first date, he dropped me off at work. He opened the car door for me, I kissed him on the cheek and just as I started to walk away, he gently pulled my arm, spun me around, and kissed me. I’ve been smitten ever since. Aymeric: “I finish what you started.”

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

One of our most cherished memories as a couple is the moment we held our baby girl for the first time in the hospital. In that instant, we could feel new life beginning to shape our journey as a family. She was born in Cancún, and though the experience has been an emotional whirlwind, we feel incredibly blessed to call her our daughter. Her presence has brought profound love, strength, and purpose into our lives.

What would you do with $20,000?

We intend to use these funds to help resolve the heartbreaking surrogacy nightmare we’ve endured, and to continue our fight for meaningful change. Our mission is to advocate for stronger protections for babies, surrogates, and families navigating the surrogacy process.
