“Having such a strong bond and friendship first makes our relationship now feel so right," she continued. "There’s so much trust because we built it before we were romantically involved. It’s that feeling of knowing the person, knowing his heart.”

And they're still building their future as she performs on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, where she competed alongside Conner Leavitt in September.
