Meeting as college athletes, we shared an experience that built the foundation we needed to move into a strong long distance relationship.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Our love story began during our first year of college, where we met as fellow student-athletes, balancing the chaos of education with a new relationship. What started as a campus friendship quickly turned into something deeper, and soon we were inseparable. When he moved 400 miles away, we faced the challenge of long distance with unwavering commitment. Despite the miles between us, our bond only strengthened, proving that love isn’t about how close you are, but your emotional connection.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of my favorite memories with my boyfriend was the day we went to an Atlanta Braves game and spent time exploring The Battery Atlanta. The energy of the stadium, the excitement of the game, and the shared love for baseball made the experience unforgettable. We tried new foods, took photos, and just enjoyed each other’s company in the vibrant atmosphere. It felt like time slowed down as we laughed, cheered, and created memories that I’ll cherish forever.
What would you do with $20,000?If we won $20K, we’d use it to finally close the distance and move back to the same town. It would give us the chance to start building a life side by side—sharing everyday moments, supporting each other in person, and creating new memories together. Instead of planning visits, we could focus on our future and fully embrace the love we’ve worked so hard to grow from afar!
