We’re high school sweeethearts and have been together 17 years. We still adore each other and are blessed with four children.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Owens in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met in high school and instantly clicked. But our relationship had to survive secrecy, sneaking out at night, and overcoming family drama. We defied the odds, stayed loyal, and chose each other again and again—against all the noise. Our love story didn’t start perfect, but it started real.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Graduation night—I packed my bags, jumped out the window, and left my old life behind to build a future with her. We had nothing but each other and a dream, but that moment defined us. It was the start of real freedom and our life together.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d invest it into building our dream: a family-run podcast and media brand that shares our unfiltered journey—marriage, parenting, and faith—while giving other couples the courage to be real, stay strong, and grow together.
