Connect How did your love story begin?

I’m not sure what counts as “the beginning” since we have been friends for so long, but we started seeing each other as more than friends when we went to the beach and everyone thought we were dating, it was so annoying! A photographer walked up to us and offered to take pictures of us at the beach and we were blushing. WE ARE JUST FRIENDS we said. Little did we know it was the beginning of a love story. We had our first kiss and since then have grown our love and obsession for each other

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

For sure our trip to Brazil! Juliana was born and raised in Brazil and took Jonathon for the first time to see the beautiful beaches, and meet her friends and family. It’s been 9 years that she lives in the US fulfilling her dream to work with Musical Theatre, but she goes every year to visit her country and loved ones. It was very special to bring the two worlds and cultures together! And come on, it’s Brazil!

What would you do with $20,000?

We just bought our first house in December and we rent the downstairs on Airbnb, it is so cute! We would re-do the bathroom downstairs to make it more comfortable for our guests. Jonathon is over here also saying the rest of the money would go towards building a half basketball court in the backyard. We do have the space! And he loooves basketball. He does not miss the community basketball every Tuesday and Thursdays near our house.
