This love story isn't your typical tale; in fact, some might find it quite amusing how Joe and Jess first found each other. It all began back in 2017, during Labor Day weekend, with an invitation to Santa Monica. To spare anyone from further embarrassment, we'll keep the names under wraps, but rest assured, our heartfelt thanks go out to all involved. So here is what happened, one of Joe's friends received an invitation from one of Jess's friends, who was house and dog-sitting for the weekend. She invited Jess and a couple of friends to join her for a night out in Santa Monica. Joe's friend extended the invitation for Joe to tag along with him. Little did they know that this evening would mark the start of something special between Jess and Joe. Let's cut to the chase: Jess and Joe's friends didn't hit it off romantically, but Jess and Joe? They hit the jackpot! The exact spark that ignited their connection remains a mystery. Was it Joe's renowned Palomas, or Jess's mesmerizing dance moves that caught their attention? Regardless, their friendship blossomed over time, and after three eventful years, they finally decided to make it official (for those in the loop, you know what we mean). Now, they're on their own journey together, sharing a home and raising their firstborn, Stitch, alongside Jess's beloved adopted daughter, Iris. Despite Jess and Joe's friends attempting to find romance, it seems they were better suited as wingmen/wingwomen for the real stars of the show – Jess and Joe! Now, look at us, all gathered here because of that incredible night in Santa Monica!
