We actually love each other! We love making the world a better place together with animal rescue and philanthropy.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
We met at a mutual friend’s BBQ & we were chatting. Another girlfriend came over & said “Steve, did she tell you about how many cats she has?” I actively volunteer with animal rescue and had multiple cats of my own plus fosters, many with special needs. I immediately thought things were not going to proceed but then Steve said “I have 2 rescue cats & one has 3 legs”. I said “OMG two of mine have 2 legs!”…and we fell in love.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We were on our way home from a Halloween party dressed as the Pulp Fiction couple. I “may” have been over-served. I told Steve “I think we should live together” and Steve responded “Sounds good.”
What would you do with $20,000?We love Animal House of South East Michigan animal rescue and Andrea actively volunteers weekly and fosters. We would donate the $20,000 to the rescue in honor of our mutual love of animals which was noted in our initial “first” meeting. BTW - we now live together with 8 rescue cats and 1 rescue dog.
