Admitting that the pandemic had also made it easier for them to take their time in the early stages of their romance, she added: "I was grateful for that because it allowed us to really take our time and it was really awesome."

Brian also opened up about their first date: "On our first date, we just completely lost track of time and the same thing happened the next time. It became something noticeably different from anything I'd ever experienced before."
