In November 2021, SJ was in New Orleans for work, and Devin was in NYC. During a work dinner, Nadine Dix asked SJ if she was seeing anyone and if she wasn't, she should link up with Devin. The two followed each other on Instagram, and in June 2022, when Devin saw SJ's stories about her struggles moving in, he offered to help. After two nights of building all the furniture in SJ's apartment, he asked SJ on a date, and the rest is history.
