Michelle Young & Boyfriend Jack Leius Finally Reveal How They Met: ‘This Is Long Overdue’
Spilling the tea!
Bachelor Nation fans saw former Bachelorette Michelle Young look for love on Season 18 of “The Bachelorette” and Season 25 of “The Bachelor.”
While finding love on-screen didn’t work out for Michelle in the long run, over the past year, Michelle documented her journey getting back into dating on social media.
In October, she hard launched her relationship with her boyfriend Jack Leius. The two have been going strong, and earlier this year, Michelle revealed that they moved in together.
Now, the couple is finally sharing the story of how they met in a new TikTok video.
Michelle posted a video of the two of them doing face masks and wrote, “The story of how we met” with a heart emoji.
In the video, she says, “This is long overdue, but we are going to finally talk about how we met.”
Jack starts the story off, saying, “One day over the summer, Michelle was at a rodeo and I saw her on one of our mutual friend’s Instagram stories and I felt this massive urge to slide up. So I DMed him and… I said, ‘Man, I would really love if you could introduce me to your friend Michelle.’ And the next day, he showed her my Instagram.”
Then, Michelle chimed in, saying, “Meanwhile, I happened to be at this Vikings bootcamp with some of my friends and the person who asked to introduce us was the brother of one of my best friends. I jokingly asked Garrett if he knew anyone who’s single and said that the dating apps are absolutely horrid… He said, ‘Actually, have I ever introduced you to Jack?’”
Jack shared that he had just reached out to their friend Garrett the night before, but the two weren’t aware of each other’s interest in one another.
Michelle went on, saying, “I didn’t know about any of this and we didn’t learn about this until about two or three weeks into our relationship. I thought I had asked to be introduced to him and he thought he had asked to be introduced to me. And when Garrett told me about Jack, he showed me a picture and I just started blushing for some reason. We ended up meeting that night and within 10 minutes of meeting he put his phone number in my phone. I was supposed to go out of town the next day, but I canceled my trip because I just wanted to spend more time with him.”
Jack shared that they ended up spending every single day together that whole weekend.
Michelle ended their video, revealing, “We hung out Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, then he asked me to be his girlfriend on Sunday. It was like the invisible string theory about all the different places that we’ve been at the exact same time and now he can’t get rid of me.”
How sweet! We love seeing Michelle so happy and we can’t wait for all that the future holds for these two.
