Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hey guys, welcome back to episode two of Casual Chaos.
It has definitely been a chaotic week. I had iHeartRadio Awards,
I announced my podcast, and I went to go see
my dad in the Bahamas. That was much needed and
very relaxing. So we have had a lot of positive
moments this week and some negative moments. I'm sure you
(00:25):
all have seen the news and a lot of you
have been commenting on the Casual Chaos Instagram wondering if
I will comment on this topic. I told you guys
that I want to be real with you, and I'm
commenting on it. So let's start from the beginning a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
My mom has been.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The sole provider for my sisters and I since the
minute my father left for prison.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The second my mom got home from jail.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
She has been working her ass off to make sure
that my sisters and I live a stable life and
that my family is financially stable. Like I can't stress
enough how much my mom has worked. Everything will be resolved.
My mom has everything under control and there's nothing to
(01:11):
worry about. My stepdad, Louis, is the most amazing stepfather.
He treats my sisters and I like we are his own.
He is also working on getting everything resolved as well.
But there's nothing to worry about. Everything's going to be fine.
But thank you for your concern. And Bethany Frankel, thank
(01:33):
you so much for your sweet video. You are a
mother with a daughter. I bet you wouldn't like if
somebody was saying this about you. So I hope that
one thousand dollars TikTok paycheck was really worth it. And thanks.
But we're doing perfectly fine over here, all right, and
(01:55):
now let's get into episode two. I have a really
fun guest for you guys this week. I get so
many questions about my boyfriend, Christian. I want to give
you guys the background story on our relationship, how we've met,
and I guess our story a little bit. So Christian,
welcome to casual chaos. Thank you so much for having me,
(02:17):
and congratulations. Thank you. I love you. Are you nervous?
I'm very nervous. Well, last night Christian said I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Said last week, since said since you said it last week.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I was like, oh my god. All week, I don't
want to sweet to end this. We were like in
his room last night with his brother and he was
like I didn't want every day to end, because then
it would be it would mean that.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm I just don't know why I get so nervous.
It's like me being in school and presenting in front
of the class. Yeah, and like I can't speak, and
I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You're doing great and you're not that run No. It
was so funny last night. I feel like, if we
put the mic close enough to his throat, you're like,
here the heartbeat, if I feel it right now? No, Okay, stop,
there's nothing to be nervous about. Everything's gonna be fine.
So we met like six years ago. I just graduated
(03:21):
high school. I was in a serious relationship in high
school that ended like halfway through my senior year, and
then I was kind of just ready to have fun.
I did not think I would be getting a boyfriend
anytime soon. I was ready to just kind of be me,
(03:41):
find myself and just find my happiness again. So one
of both of our really good friends, Dante. Actually he
has known me since I was in middle school. You guys,
actually some of you might know Dante. I went to
eighth grade prom with him. I'm on the Real Housewives
in New Jersey, so go way back. But he finally
(04:08):
said to me our senior year of high school, he
was like, all right, come out meet my Bergen County friends.
Come see like what we're all about, Like we're a
lot of fun. I was, I said, okay. So it
was a Fourth of July weekend. They all rented a
(04:29):
house in Seaside. I show up to this house. I
had the best weekend of my life. Yeah, out of control,
but it was so much fun. Never seen anything like this,
A bunch of kids in a house just having so
(04:50):
much fun. So I think it was the morning. I
don't even it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Was the morning of like our Friday night going out,
like Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, okay, it was Saturday morning, Sunday, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
One of the days.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'm sitting on the couch and all of a sudden,
I see the door open up. There's girls in the room.
She has like marks all over his face. I think
our friend Frankie drew on his face. And I just
see him sprint out of bed, chase Frankie out of
(05:24):
the house up to the beach, and I'm sitting there like,
holy crap, these kids are actually out of their mind,
Like what are we getting myself into it's time to
go home. This was fine, We'll revisit this another time.
Then my good friend at the time ended up having
like this summer romance with one of our friends, and
(05:46):
so I was kind of just tagging along with wherever
she went. And it was my best friend, so yeah,
we yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So it was like my best friend and then his
best friend.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, not me though, I'm not friends with the girl anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But it was the best summer.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So then we get on the tree to go to
the Florida Georgia Line concert and it was a small
group of us. So as we're at the Florida Georgia
Line concert, it starts raining and the concert gets shut down.
At the time, I did not like country music, so
I was definitely a little tipsy just having fun and.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Then absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, yeah, because I just I didn't like.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Country music, so I was like, what else am I
going to do?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
This is like yeah. So then it starts raining, the
concert gets shut down. We are all like under this awning.
Half of us are in the bathroom, like trying not
to get wet in the rain. And I looked at
my friend Lily and I was like, should I go
kiss him and she was like, yeah, but don't sleep
(07:03):
with him on the first night, and I was like okay.
And then in the rain and then we left, and
then we picked us and picked us up. Yeah, and
then we picked us up in his parents Gea wag
like this was some thing. It's just like not real,
Like it's like, okay, seventeen year old driving around a Gea.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Wagon And it was me and you in the trunk. No,
well me, you and Frankton Frankie. Frankie was like, I
can't do this anymore. Of these guys can kiss him
in the back seat trunk and he hops over the
front seat and it was all them in the back seat.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And then yeah, that's the story of how we met.
And that was it. We hung out the rest of
the summer, Yeah, we did. We hung out the rest
of the summer. I would I just kept going to
their parties. They always had something going on, like these kids,
I saw, they always had something to do. Then I
left for college. He didn't say bye to me, and
(07:57):
I was really.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Upset, but I didn't think anything of it because he was.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Just dumb, like really dumb. But I was like, come
say bye to me. He didn't say bye to me,
So then I said, doing anything. You were hanging out
with your boy, with your with the boys. You weren't
doing anything, like literally nothing. I think you actually went
to the movies. I don't think you did anything. So
(08:26):
I left for school. He didn't say bye to me,
and I was like, okay, didn't know where we were
at this point. It was weird. I was Moto. Yeah,
I was like, okay, maybe this isn't what I thought
it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I felt weird.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I was never the girl to do something if I
had feelings for someone, so I definitely had feelings for him.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So I was never one.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
To like sleep around or do that. That was never me.
So I was kind of just like, all right, we'll
see what happens. And then I came and visited.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah, soon after, I don't really remember.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It was like he was definitely he was doing things
with other girls school. I might have kissed two people
during CYLB this week, and I felt horrible.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You God knows.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
What you did. I don't know. Yeah, he never knows.
But yeah, basically our first date was him asking me
to go to Florida, and I was like, what am
I doing? What am I doing this isn't normal. So
it was my freshman year. I had literally just moved
into school. I think he came to visit me at
least once or twice.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I was with you like every single day throughout that
summer doing certain things.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, okay, fine, but it still was a little crazy
to me, Like, no one's asked you to just like
go to Florida. He was just a spontaneous thing. Yeah,
so spontaneous. So we ended up going to Florida and
that was our first date, going to Florida.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
After Florida, I definitely didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't know what he did. I was just living
my life, honestly. Oh, so you did two things. I
wasn't doing anything.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It was just like, yeah, I didn't know what we were.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You asked me out in Florida again in January and
January we started dating January fourteen. We dated for like
a year and a half, yeah, leading year and a
half or two.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, leading up until.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
My junior year of college March. Okay, but like it
started getting foggy like February. Honestly, it was after my
date night that it all went downhill. Yeah, it was
basically just immature.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Very The reason we broke up was because I was
immature and like communication was horrible. He was always with
my friends and I had no drive. You said, yeah,
because I didn't have my first job until what I
was twenty two one, twenty one. I got my first
job when I was twenty one.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That bothered me. I hated it bothered me so much. Yeah,
I thought it was I just it didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Turn me on.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Honestly, I just felt like you had no motivation, no drive,
and it really bothered me. Community school, yeah, I at
least wanted him to finish his associates degree, but I
get it, like school's not for everyone, and school really
wasn't for you at all. But then it was so
funny because then we break up and he gets.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
A job, so jobs, job.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
During the day.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He wanted to kill him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So he gets two jobs, and I'm like, obviously getting
wind of it. I was like, oh yeah, going out
every weekend, two jobs. He was, Yeah, cool, So was I.
I went on college spring break, but yeah, I know
(12:22):
you didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I went to Florida. Oh cool, Florida.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I went to Cancun. Yeah whatever, it was very different. Yeah, yeah,
it is cool. What'd you do go to the ship? Cum, No,
no fun. We're not getting into this. So that was
basically why I broke up with him. And then he
just obviously was doing everything to show me that he
(12:46):
was growing as a person for sure. So in that
time though, then it was summer and it was our
twenty one summer, so we were having so much fun
in general.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It was our first time.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
At the bars, Parker House, everything like DJ's every night,
Parker House, all day on Saturday, Janks on Friday. It
was just a weekend full of things.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But we saw each other.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Everywhere as much as we wanted to not. Yeah, I
saw you every I would go somewhere and I'd be like,
I'm not going there, like I heard g is there,
and then my friends would be like, yo, we can't
go there, like you're there, and just go back and forth.
But all the time that one summer, so he told
me everything, so I just knew about everything so fun.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was like I was doing. I knew everything that
he Christian was doing from our friend too. He was
he was literally telling both of us everything that I
He was telling Christian everything that I was doing, and
then he was telling me everything that Christian was doing
to the point one night, I was drunk and spray
(14:00):
and I like belying the girl that he was talking to,
and I went up to her and I acted so
dumb and I was like, oh, my god, you're iusy right.
You look so familiar. I think I know you from college.
And she was like, no, I don't think, so I go, oh,
must be the wrong person. And I walked away, and
(14:22):
I just like I just needed to really look at
her and just be like, Hi, I'm so much prettier
than yes, So I really needed to get a close
look in person, and I did. And it was so
funny because you know, one of the times where Christian
(14:45):
and I hooked up over the summer while we were
broken up. I mean, everyone does that. You're lying if
you don't a few times, but oh would that make
you feel better? Okay, but one of those times, because
it didn't matter even though we were broken up, but
still felt like he was my boyfriend, Like it still
felt like the connection was so he was mine, so
(15:07):
I was very It was just still a lot. But
when he went to the bathroom, because it was like
I was in my house, like I was in his shorehouse.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It wasn't weird. I don't know, I felt normal.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I walk in. His mom was like, oh my god,
knew you would be around soon. But she would like
look at me and be like, oh, he's so lost
without you. Like, yeah, she would we talk, but when
(15:39):
he was in the bathroom, I was like looking through
their texts wanting to throw up. But the one text,
the one text was holy, your EXI just came up
to me in the bar and I was like, she's
such a weirdo, and like, but this girl had anough
(16:00):
session with me because it was like every time I
was somewhere, she would text you, and I'm like, this
is so weird. It was very weird. So one Christian
came back from the bathroom, I wasn't even trying to
hide it, like he fully saw me on his phone
and I was like, you're literally heading up with a weirdo. True,
(16:23):
But yeah, that summer was fun. It was fun. We
obviously hooked up a little bit, but it was also
fun to like grow. I think we both grew a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And then in Austin, Yeah do.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You think we're still young? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
You see, if we still wanted to be together, Yeah,
you're with other people, with other people, and then it
just didn't feel it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Then we got back together after like six seven months. Yeah,
and we've been together ever.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Since now yeah, three years from then. I guess see,
this is where you get like annoyed.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, very annoyed.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Because I never wanted to reask you about I was like,
you broke up with me, Like I don't want to
ask you.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You're so petty, like you deserve to be broken off.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yes, And I was just like, honestly, like I don't
want a new anniversary daily.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, but it's not like you've ever it's not like
you still have honored January fourteenth.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
So technically we don't really have an anniversary date. But
I always said to keep it January fourteenth. That's why
always said to keep this well.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Because I mean, realistically, when at this point we've been
together for so long. Yes, I bet like none of
you even knew we broke up during that time, honestly,
but now at this point we're twenty three, we've been
together for so long. I would just I consider it
like we've been together for six years. Yeah, Like I'm
(17:48):
not gonna pick the whole thing, but you don't honor
our anniversary. We don't have one, I guess right if
we don't ask me at right now? I don't like
this date.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh no, what's wrong with today?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
What is today? Anniversary? We're just going to pick a
date when we're engaged or something. Oh great anniversary. No,
then it'll be the wedding date. We're never going to
have one until then. No January fourteenth. So let's get
into how we met the family. Okay, so did you
(18:34):
know me when we hooked up at Florida Georgia Line
or know who I was?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And like public eye wise.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I had no idea. Okay, we love that you knew that.
I think I did. Yeah, I forgot Christian answered so long,
but I remember this vividly. So, like I said, I
was like in my single era. Didn't think anything of it,
especially when Chrish and I hooked up at the Florida
(19:01):
Georgia Land concert that was actually just fun for play.
No no idea, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Think anything of what I did, like was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So basically we all we're taking like the cutest photos
and our friend Jeds they were just like cute photos,
so I posted them on my Visco. You guys, remember
Vesco and they are the talk of Christians town.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And that's kind of like when I figured out, like
who the hell is this girl?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Like why does anyone care?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
And then like and then my parents found out that
I was with you, and they didn't know who you
were either, but like their friends knew, like my neighbors knew,
and it was just like a huge thing for no reason.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I was like, what the hell is going on? Do
you remember when you went my mom?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, she was on the uh she was on like
a business trip.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, I had drove over and we were oh.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
God, and I was in your room and we had
no idea your mom was coming home. Great, And I
was like what, like what you're talking about? And I
got so scared because I remember you like she was
like a herd of you know, she doesn't let people
in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And I was bad, so do we leave the room?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And then she knocked on the door and I was
standing at the edge of the bed and waving to
me either just right there, like high said. She was
just so thrown off, and she was like hi, honey,
and she was so sweet. And then that was it,
And now.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
My mom's obsessed with him, literally she's the best. My
mom loves Christian, but you know, Christian honestly has an
amazing relationship with everyone in my family. So then my dad,
you actually met when.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I think it was after we got back together this yeah, yeah,
probably because she was still at the time. Yeah, it
was he more settled down in the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
So yeah, so Christian met my dad when he moved
to Bahamas because Italy it was just too much, Yeah,
because Italy during COVID and everything.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
And then we got close.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, we'd always go on the phone together, on the
phone with them, Yeah, and then I and then that
following year we went there a lot. Yeah, we did,
like four times. Yeah, he comes whenever. He basically comes
whenever he can. A lot of the times when I go,
especially if it's during the holidays, and also like my
(21:37):
cousins and I go like couples. We've gone a couple
of times, which is always fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I don't know we go all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But you guys have a great relationship. You guys always
joke around with each other.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But my dad actually knows Christian's family from way back,
which is so funny. And we found that out once
we started dating close. Yeah, so him and his uncle Sonny.
His uncle Sonny would give my dad work growing up,
and like my dad's father work, like they all work together.
(22:13):
And then my dad actually like so Christian's uncle Sonny
years back, wanted to hook up Christian's mom and my
dad but they never actually went on date. But yeah,
well because she was dating that other guy. Yeah so so.
But like, our families have always been kind of connected,
(22:35):
which is super funny. But Christian was there during the
whole process of my mom dating and kind of getting
to where she is now, to where like to meeting Louie.
So yeah, Christian saw the boyfriends the tantrums and connected
from the beginning great and then you got obviously you
(22:58):
and little Louis worked together, got really close.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, he was closer with my brother because Milania and Kevin. Yeah,
you guys don't know, but Malania and Kevin used to
date as well.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh my god, you're putting them on blasts Christian's younger brother. Yep,
so Christian's one of four. I'm one of four. But
Milania and Kevin started dating after Christian and I started dating.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Because our families were really close. Everything was vacation.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, we went on vacation together, both of our families
together to pun Takana. We've done a lot. But our
siblings started dating. That was like crazy, it was so weird. No,
Kevin and Milania broke up.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Everything's good.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They still talk. Yeah, they talk, they do the thing,
I mean whatever, they need to talk. But yeah, family
is very close. Everyone's in Caho. It's clearly. I remember
meeting your mom though. I was so nervous. I was
sitting at your kitchen table. You didn't know I think
she was going to come home either. And she walked
in and I was like, I remember looking over at
(24:03):
my friend and I was like, she's so pretty. Oh
my god. Yeah, but she was so nice. Gave you
a bracelet that day. She just she literally gave me
a bracelet. I was like, what is going on? I was.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Tas, she's get get used to that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, it was like two months in.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
But no, she was. She's so sweet and she literally
still spoils me. But she tells me all the time,
I'm like the daughter she's never had because she's such
a girl mom and she had four boys, so me
coming in she really definitely made her happy, So I
(24:59):
guess we could talk go out the rumors a little
bit that we've gone through. There's a lot of those,
a lot, But I guess it kind of stems from, like,
were you ever nervous when I posted you on Instagram
for the first time?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I wasn't nervous, only because you started with a private Instagram,
so so like it was just like friends and like
random people. Yeah, but like there wasn't as many.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
As you have. Yeah, I had both, you had both.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And then like down the line where people started to find.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Out Instagram, Yeah, until I was twenty one. Yeah, because
you know, maybe I was doing some under a drinking.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But yeah, okay, but no, never nervous, only for that
because that reason, because like then eventually like everyone find out,
yeah that we were together, So it wasn't like as
like how'd you say.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Public, but definitely dating someone in the public eye causes
a lot of attention. Like last week, I think I
was pregnant, Yeah, not pregnant. We're engaged, Yeah, we're engaged.
Everyone wants us to get engaged, but that doesn't like
the engagement doesn't really bother me, and those don't really
(26:22):
bother menant also it's like you guys, you think I
look fat. That's all I got from it, And I'm like, great,
I actually work my ass off in the gym every day.
But thank you so much, no, because it's just like,
obviously that's I think the cheating rumors are what bother
you the most. I mean they bother me the most too,
But then deep down I just know they're not true.
(26:45):
But I think you get very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
With them a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I think they just upset you. Yeah, why Yeah, I
think the biggest thing that you always say is I
don't understand why people want to ruin our relationship and
trying to like break it down basically. I mean, it
definitely isn't the nicest thing to hear. I mean it
definitely makes you think for a second.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's just like we're in such a good spot and
it's like that comes on us. It's like really, yeah,
like come on, I really needed that right now. Yeah,
and then it just turns to a headache for the
next week to investigate, and it's like, come on, I.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Feel like we investigated a little more than when we
were younger, and now we like.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, that was the year and a half because it
happened a lot, yeah, before you broke up. Yeah, it
did because I was going out all the time. I
was surrounded by like kids that were just hooking up
with girls left and right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well that's the thing, his hometown friends.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
They all look the same, black hair, like this whole
get up, Like, they all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Look the same.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So basically that's kind of what happened when we were
in the process of breaking up. But with all those rumors,
actually the cheating rumors during that first year and a
half of us dating before we broke up, I would
get dms and text messages and videos of you constantly
not ever doing anything, just being there and being around,
(28:17):
you know, people that were doing things, and it was
kind of just guilty by association and it was just
things that a person in a relationship should not be around.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And I agreed, So that was the true.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, So that was honestly the main reason why we
broke up. And now that was another reason, but the reasons, Yeah,
that was so for it. But now we really don't
get those that much, like if anything is like I
think I've actually gotten like one.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, Like it's like I don't even know how long
since have time.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, but other than that, the pregnancy, the engagement, it's
all funny. It's just whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But the pregnant ones stop calling me vab.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So we're gonna answer some questions now from Instagram.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What is your favorite thing about each other?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I see your hustle.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, I think you keep me very calm. Your patients,
you're very patient. Thank you. I need that in my life.
Do you talk about marriage? Yes, I have my dream
wedding venue, but now I think this might need to
be a honeymoon destination because if you want guests there,
(29:41):
you need to make a realistic wedding venue and it
needs to be destination regardless, because you know, my dad's deported.
So yeah, we're trying to figure that out. Just we
like to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Would you ever do your own show together?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
First?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, it's never really been a thought in my mind. Yeah,
doing and like the housewive? Would I want to be
like a house would you call it the house husband?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I want? I would want you to be so behind.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's like you're like my space isn't the public eye,
Like I'm like one of those guys who likes to
do like the work, like nobody knows about it.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No, I agree.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You sticks over there and I stick over here.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, but I still like you to be involved with
me a little here, a little there, but not overkill.
Hate the overkill. Just to come around school. Yeah, I
love that. Okay, what are your summer plans? Down the shore?
I've been doing it for my whole life. Same Yeah, No,
(30:49):
we really aren't. Oh and Italy, Italy. We're going to
Italy for my cousin's wedding in May. I'm so excited.
It's going to be his first time in Italy and
I cannot wait to show him around.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Two and a half weeks. Two weeks, two weeks. Yeah,
we've shrutened it a little bit. It's literally going to
be Italy, straight down the shore. We're landing on the Friday,
Memorial Day weekend, straight to Janks, straight Stanks on Friday,
Oh Jans on Friday, sleeping What we went over this already.
(31:28):
What We're sleeping home Friday and I'm not going down
on that day. Oh so we're sleeping Friday. We're not
changing our trip Parker House Saturday. See you there. How
do you work your way through disagreements? I think that's
something we still work on honestly, But I think the
(31:50):
biggest thing is, if you.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Know, my basically thing is if we're in an argument
like trying to walk away, we're both heated, like just
like it gets us even more bad, Like when we're
like hanging up the phone and we're on the phone
just like going at each other that we hang up,
Like that's the most frustrating thing it is.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I think if we know, if I know I'm wrong,
it's better to just let you have the floor and
apologize to you and the other way around.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm gonna take my own advice and same with you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
If you know you're wrong, you honestly do apologize that
most of the time. Yeah, I feel like the biggest
way that we work through our disagreements, I mean it
is communication, but it's also giving us both time to
just quoll come back. How do you balance a busy
life and quality time together? So we both work a
(32:50):
lot during the day and a lot of the times
we like to come together at night. We always sleep together,
so we sleep together almost every night. We go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's the hardest part is that was thirty five
minutes from each other, so it's like annoying. It is
annoying again, done with the gym and your day. It's
seven thirty, it's a shower, dinner, it's the drive half hour.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, that's literally I think the biggest want for us
to move out is just because we also want to
see each other after ending our days. But the thirty
five minute drive does get a lot every other night
switching on and off between my house and his house.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So eventually if we obviously, eventually we're going to move
out and going to live together.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But that's honestly, the biggest reason why is for us
to just live together rather than going back and forth.
But we both enjoy living home. We have younger siblings,
We have younger siblings like wet.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
That we financially can't move out. We can move out tomorrow,
ready to like once i'm ow, you're out. Yeah, I'm
just not coming back now.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, And honestly, basically all of our friends are still home.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's yeah, it's not anything that.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We're pushes, honest but it's like it's really not that
big of a deal, Like I'm twenty three or twenty four,
Like you don't have to be out of the house. No,
like there's people that live home that are older like this.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm sure it'll happen with the next Yeah, soon it'll Yeah,
I'm not we can't put a timeline on it, but
it's it's going to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I don't know when, but we'll take out my little at.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Home studio with us to apartment.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Or house. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
See, that's another thing that we're trying to figure out.
We don't know if we're getting an apartment or house.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
There's just a lot of things, so.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
One thing at a time.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
We just launched Casual Chaos.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Y's a lot from all the years of dating. What's
your favorite memory?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Honestly our cruise to euro Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
It was so so much fun.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We did a European cruise with Virgin Voyages.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And we went to Spain and friends and it was amazing,
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Every day is the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, it was so beautiful and then you have like
one day to chill on the cruise. But it was
an adults only cruise, so it was very relaxing. The
food was honestly pretty good. Yeah, it was really good. No,
I mean, yeah, it was great. But also one of
our favorite. One of my favorite memories is it was
(35:41):
our one year anniversary and we did a helicopter ride
around New York City and that was really cute. That
was really cool. If you moved in together, where would
you want to live? Yeah, I kind of want to
go closer to the city, just because I'm always in
(36:02):
the city for work, So that's a little bit of
a problem. Yeah, he works in Bergen County, So we're
kind of trying to find a happy medium as well
on where we would want to move to in Jersey.
I kind of want to be a little closer to
the city. He obviously wants to stay a little close
closer to Bergen County, so we have to find a
(36:24):
happy medium there too. So you have any suggestions of
towns in between Bergen County and the city. Let us
know what relationship advice do you have for others in
their twenties.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Take it slow and enjoin the ride.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Love that seriously, No, but yeah, for real, there's no rush,
no rush. Just enjoy each other, don't fight over the
little things, and just listen to each other honestly. All right,

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Bye,
Hey guys, welcome back to episode two of Casual Chaos.
It has definitely been a chaotic week. I had iHeartRadio Awards,
I announced my podcast, and I went to go see
my dad in the Bahamas. That was much needed and
very relaxing. So we have had a lot of positive
moments this week and some negative moments. I'm sure you
(00:25):
all have seen the news and a lot of you
have been commenting on the Casual Chaos Instagram wondering if
I will comment on this topic. I told you guys
that I want to be real with you, and I'm
commenting on it. So let's start from the beginning a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
My mom has been.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
The sole provider for my sisters and I since the
minute my father left for prison.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
The second my mom got home from jail.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
She has been working her ass off to make sure
that my sisters and I live a stable life and
that my family is financially stable. Like I can't stress
enough how much my mom has worked. Everything will be resolved.
My mom has everything under control and there's nothing to
(01:11):
worry about. My stepdad, Louis, is the most amazing stepfather.
He treats my sisters and I like we are his own.
He is also working on getting everything resolved as well.
But there's nothing to worry about. Everything's going to be fine.
But thank you for your concern. And Bethany Frankel, thank
(01:33):
you so much for your sweet video. You are a
mother with a daughter. I bet you wouldn't like if
somebody was saying this about you. So I hope that
one thousand dollars TikTok paycheck was really worth it. And thanks.
But we're doing perfectly fine over here, all right, and
(01:55):
now let's get into episode two. I have a really
fun guest for you guys this week. I get so
many questions about my boyfriend, Christian. I want to give
you guys the background story on our relationship, how we've met,
and I guess our story a little bit. So Christian,
welcome to casual chaos. Thank you so much for having me,
(02:17):
and congratulations. Thank you. I love you. Are you nervous?
I'm very nervous. Well, last night Christian said I'm.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Said last week, since said since you said it last week.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I was like, oh my god. All week, I don't
want to sweet to end this. We were like in
his room last night with his brother and he was
like I didn't want every day to end, because then
it would be it would mean that.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I'm I just don't know why I get so nervous.
It's like me being in school and presenting in front
of the class. Yeah, and like I can't speak, and
I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You're doing great and you're not that run No. It
was so funny last night. I feel like, if we
put the mic close enough to his throat, you're like,
here the heartbeat, if I feel it right now? No, Okay, stop,
there's nothing to be nervous about. Everything's gonna be fine.
So we met like six years ago. I just graduated
(03:21):
high school. I was in a serious relationship in high
school that ended like halfway through my senior year, and
then I was kind of just ready to have fun.
I did not think I would be getting a boyfriend
anytime soon. I was ready to just kind of be me,
(03:41):
find myself and just find my happiness again. So one
of both of our really good friends, Dante. Actually he
has known me since I was in middle school. You guys,
actually some of you might know Dante. I went to
eighth grade prom with him. I'm on the Real Housewives
in New Jersey, so go way back. But he finally
(04:08):
said to me our senior year of high school, he
was like, all right, come out meet my Bergen County friends.
Come see like what we're all about, Like we're a
lot of fun. I was, I said, okay. So it
was a Fourth of July weekend. They all rented a
(04:29):
house in Seaside. I show up to this house. I
had the best weekend of my life. Yeah, out of control,
but it was so much fun. Never seen anything like this,
A bunch of kids in a house just having so
(04:50):
much fun. So I think it was the morning. I
don't even it.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Was the morning of like our Friday night going out,
like Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, okay, it was Saturday morning, Sunday, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
One of the days.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I'm sitting on the couch and all of a sudden,
I see the door open up. There's girls in the room.
She has like marks all over his face. I think
our friend Frankie drew on his face. And I just
see him sprint out of bed, chase Frankie out of
(05:24):
the house up to the beach, and I'm sitting there like,
holy crap, these kids are actually out of their mind,
Like what are we getting myself into it's time to
go home. This was fine, We'll revisit this another time.
Then my good friend at the time ended up having
like this summer romance with one of our friends, and
(05:46):
so I was kind of just tagging along with wherever
she went. And it was my best friend, so yeah,
we yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So it was like my best friend and then his
best friend.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, not me though, I'm not friends with the girl anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
But it was the best summer.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
So then we get on the tree to go to
the Florida Georgia Line concert and it was a small
group of us. So as we're at the Florida Georgia
Line concert, it starts raining and the concert gets shut down.
At the time, I did not like country music, so
I was definitely a little tipsy just having fun and.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Then absolutely.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, yeah, because I just I didn't like.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Country music, so I was like, what else am I
going to do?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
This is like yeah. So then it starts raining, the
concert gets shut down. We are all like under this awning.
Half of us are in the bathroom, like trying not
to get wet in the rain. And I looked at
my friend Lily and I was like, should I go
kiss him and she was like, yeah, but don't sleep
(07:03):
with him on the first night, and I was like okay.
And then in the rain and then we left, and
then we picked us and picked us up. Yeah, and
then we picked us up in his parents Gea wag
like this was some thing. It's just like not real,
Like it's like, okay, seventeen year old driving around a Gea.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Wagon And it was me and you in the trunk. No,
well me, you and Frankton Frankie. Frankie was like, I
can't do this anymore. Of these guys can kiss him
in the back seat trunk and he hops over the
front seat and it was all them in the back seat.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
And then yeah, that's the story of how we met.
And that was it. We hung out the rest of
the summer, Yeah, we did. We hung out the rest
of the summer. I would I just kept going to
their parties. They always had something going on, like these kids,
I saw, they always had something to do. Then I
left for college. He didn't say bye to me, and
(07:57):
I was really.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Upset, but I didn't think anything of it because he was.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Just dumb, like really dumb. But I was like, come
say bye to me. He didn't say bye to me,
So then I said, doing anything. You were hanging out
with your boy, with your with the boys. You weren't
doing anything, like literally nothing. I think you actually went
to the movies. I don't think you did anything. So
(08:26):
I left for school. He didn't say bye to me,
and I was like, okay, didn't know where we were
at this point. It was weird. I was Moto. Yeah,
I was like, okay, maybe this isn't what I thought
it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I felt weird.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I was never the girl to do something if I
had feelings for someone, so I definitely had feelings for him.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
So I was never one.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
To like sleep around or do that. That was never me.
So I was kind of just like, all right, we'll
see what happens. And then I came and visited.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah, soon after, I don't really remember.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It was like he was definitely he was doing things
with other girls school. I might have kissed two people
during CYLB this week, and I felt horrible.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
You God knows.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
What you did. I don't know. Yeah, he never knows.
But yeah, basically our first date was him asking me
to go to Florida, and I was like, what am
I doing? What am I doing this isn't normal. So
it was my freshman year. I had literally just moved
into school. I think he came to visit me at
least once or twice.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I was with you like every single day throughout that
summer doing certain things.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, okay, fine, but it still was a little crazy
to me, Like, no one's asked you to just like
go to Florida. He was just a spontaneous thing. Yeah,
so spontaneous. So we ended up going to Florida and
that was our first date, going to Florida.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
After Florida, I definitely didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I don't know what he did. I was just living
my life, honestly. Oh, so you did two things. I
wasn't doing anything.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
It was just like, yeah, I didn't know what we were.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You asked me out in Florida again in January and
January we started dating January fourteen. We dated for like
a year and a half, yeah, leading year and a
half or two.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, leading up until.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
My junior year of college March. Okay, but like it
started getting foggy like February. Honestly, it was after my
date night that it all went downhill. Yeah, it was
basically just immature.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Very The reason we broke up was because I was
immature and like communication was horrible. He was always with
my friends and I had no drive. You said, yeah,
because I didn't have my first job until what I
was twenty two one, twenty one. I got my first
job when I was twenty one.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
That bothered me. I hated it bothered me so much. Yeah,
I thought it was I just it didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Turn me on.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Honestly, I just felt like you had no motivation, no drive,
and it really bothered me. Community school, yeah, I at
least wanted him to finish his associates degree, but I
get it, like school's not for everyone, and school really
wasn't for you at all. But then it was so
funny because then we break up and he gets.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
A job, so jobs, job.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
During the day.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He wanted to kill him.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So he gets two jobs, and I'm like, obviously getting
wind of it. I was like, oh yeah, going out
every weekend, two jobs. He was, Yeah, cool, So was I.
I went on college spring break, but yeah, I know
(12:22):
you didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
I went to Florida. Oh cool, Florida.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I went to Cancun. Yeah whatever, it was very different. Yeah, yeah,
it is cool. What'd you do go to the ship? Cum, No,
no fun. We're not getting into this. So that was
basically why I broke up with him. And then he
just obviously was doing everything to show me that he
(12:46):
was growing as a person for sure. So in that
time though, then it was summer and it was our
twenty one summer, so we were having so much fun
in general.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
It was our first time.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
At the bars, Parker House, everything like DJ's every night,
Parker House, all day on Saturday, Janks on Friday. It
was just a weekend full of things.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
But we saw each other.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Everywhere as much as we wanted to not. Yeah, I
saw you every I would go somewhere and I'd be like,
I'm not going there, like I heard g is there,
and then my friends would be like, yo, we can't
go there, like you're there, and just go back and forth.
But all the time that one summer, so he told
me everything, so I just knew about everything so fun.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was like I was doing. I knew everything that
he Christian was doing from our friend too. He was
he was literally telling both of us everything that I
He was telling Christian everything that I was doing, and
then he was telling me everything that Christian was doing
to the point one night, I was drunk and spray
(14:00):
and I like belying the girl that he was talking to,
and I went up to her and I acted so
dumb and I was like, oh, my god, you're iusy right.
You look so familiar. I think I know you from college.
And she was like, no, I don't think, so I go, oh,
must be the wrong person. And I walked away, and
(14:22):
I just like I just needed to really look at
her and just be like, Hi, I'm so much prettier
than yes, So I really needed to get a close
look in person, and I did. And it was so
funny because you know, one of the times where Christian
(14:45):
and I hooked up over the summer while we were
broken up. I mean, everyone does that. You're lying if
you don't a few times, but oh would that make
you feel better? Okay, but one of those times, because
it didn't matter even though we were broken up, but
still felt like he was my boyfriend, Like it still
felt like the connection was so he was mine, so
(15:07):
I was very It was just still a lot. But
when he went to the bathroom, because it was like
I was in my house, like I was in his shorehouse.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It wasn't weird. I don't know, I felt normal.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I walk in. His mom was like, oh my god,
knew you would be around soon. But she would like
look at me and be like, oh, he's so lost
without you. Like, yeah, she would we talk, but when
(15:39):
he was in the bathroom, I was like looking through
their texts wanting to throw up. But the one text,
the one text was holy, your EXI just came up
to me in the bar and I was like, she's
such a weirdo, and like, but this girl had anough
(16:00):
session with me because it was like every time I
was somewhere, she would text you, and I'm like, this
is so weird. It was very weird. So one Christian
came back from the bathroom, I wasn't even trying to
hide it, like he fully saw me on his phone
and I was like, you're literally heading up with a weirdo. True,
(16:23):
But yeah, that summer was fun. It was fun. We
obviously hooked up a little bit, but it was also
fun to like grow. I think we both grew a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And then in Austin, Yeah do.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
You think we're still young? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
You see, if we still wanted to be together, Yeah,
you're with other people, with other people, and then it
just didn't feel it.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Then we got back together after like six seven months. Yeah,
and we've been together ever.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Since now yeah, three years from then. I guess see,
this is where you get like annoyed.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, very annoyed.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Because I never wanted to reask you about I was like,
you broke up with me, Like I don't want to
ask you.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
You're so petty, like you deserve to be broken off.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Yes, And I was just like, honestly, like I don't
want a new anniversary daily.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Yeah, but it's not like you've ever it's not like
you still have honored January fourteenth.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
So technically we don't really have an anniversary date. But
I always said to keep it January fourteenth. That's why
always said to keep this well.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Because I mean, realistically, when at this point we've been
together for so long. Yes, I bet like none of
you even knew we broke up during that time, honestly,
but now at this point we're twenty three, we've been
together for so long. I would just I consider it
like we've been together for six years. Yeah, Like I'm
(17:48):
not gonna pick the whole thing, but you don't honor
our anniversary. We don't have one, I guess right if
we don't ask me at right now? I don't like
this date.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Oh no, what's wrong with today?
Speaker 1 (18:09):
What is today? Anniversary? We're just going to pick a
date when we're engaged or something. Oh great anniversary. No,
then it'll be the wedding date. We're never going to
have one until then. No January fourteenth. So let's get
into how we met the family. Okay, so did you
(18:34):
know me when we hooked up at Florida Georgia Line
or know who I was?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
And like public eye wise.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I had no idea. Okay, we love that you knew that.
I think I did. Yeah, I forgot Christian answered so long,
but I remember this vividly. So, like I said, I
was like in my single era. Didn't think anything of it,
especially when Chrish and I hooked up at the Florida
(19:01):
Georgia Land concert that was actually just fun for play.
No no idea, but I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Think anything of what I did, like was wrong.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So basically we all we're taking like the cutest photos
and our friend Jeds they were just like cute photos,
so I posted them on my Visco. You guys, remember
Vesco and they are the talk of Christians town.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
And that's kind of like when I figured out, like
who the hell is this girl?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Like why does anyone care?
Speaker 3 (19:41):
And then like and then my parents found out that
I was with you, and they didn't know who you
were either, but like their friends knew, like my neighbors knew,
and it was just like a huge thing for no reason.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I was like, what the hell is going on? Do
you remember when you went my mom?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah, she was on the uh she was on like
a business trip.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Oh, I had drove over and we were oh.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
God, and I was in your room and we had
no idea your mom was coming home. Great, And I
was like what, like what you're talking about? And I
got so scared because I remember you like she was
like a herd of you know, she doesn't let people
in the room.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And I was bad, so do we leave the room?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
And then she knocked on the door and I was
standing at the edge of the bed and waving to
me either just right there, like high said. She was
just so thrown off, and she was like hi, honey,
and she was so sweet. And then that was it,
And now.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
My mom's obsessed with him, literally she's the best. My
mom loves Christian, but you know, Christian honestly has an
amazing relationship with everyone in my family. So then my dad,
you actually met when.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I think it was after we got back together this yeah, yeah,
probably because she was still at the time. Yeah, it
was he more settled down in the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
So yeah, so Christian met my dad when he moved
to Bahamas because Italy it was just too much, Yeah,
because Italy during COVID and everything.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
And then we got close.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Yeah, we'd always go on the phone together, on the
phone with them, Yeah, and then I and then that
following year we went there a lot. Yeah, we did,
like four times. Yeah, he comes whenever. He basically comes
whenever he can. A lot of the times when I go,
especially if it's during the holidays, and also like my
(21:37):
cousins and I go like couples. We've gone a couple
of times, which is always fun. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I don't know we go all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
But you guys have a great relationship. You guys always
joke around with each other.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
But my dad actually knows Christian's family from way back,
which is so funny. And we found that out once
we started dating close. Yeah, so him and his uncle Sonny.
His uncle Sonny would give my dad work growing up,
and like my dad's father work, like they all work together.
(22:13):
And then my dad actually like so Christian's uncle Sonny
years back, wanted to hook up Christian's mom and my
dad but they never actually went on date. But yeah,
well because she was dating that other guy. Yeah so so.
But like, our families have always been kind of connected,
(22:35):
which is super funny. But Christian was there during the
whole process of my mom dating and kind of getting
to where she is now, to where like to meeting Louie.
So yeah, Christian saw the boyfriends the tantrums and connected
from the beginning great and then you got obviously you
(22:58):
and little Louis worked together, got really close.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Yeah, he was closer with my brother because Milania and Kevin. Yeah,
you guys don't know, but Malania and Kevin used to
date as well.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh my god, you're putting them on blasts Christian's younger brother. Yep,
so Christian's one of four. I'm one of four. But
Milania and Kevin started dating after Christian and I started dating.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Because our families were really close. Everything was vacation.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, we went on vacation together, both of our families
together to pun Takana. We've done a lot. But our
siblings started dating. That was like crazy, it was so weird. No,
Kevin and Milania broke up.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Everything's good.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
They still talk. Yeah, they talk, they do the thing,
I mean whatever, they need to talk. But yeah, family
is very close. Everyone's in Caho. It's clearly. I remember
meeting your mom though. I was so nervous. I was
sitting at your kitchen table. You didn't know I think
she was going to come home either. And she walked
in and I was like, I remember looking over at
(24:03):
my friend and I was like, she's so pretty. Oh
my god. Yeah, but she was so nice. Gave you
a bracelet that day. She just she literally gave me
a bracelet. I was like, what is going on? I was.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Tas, she's get get used to that.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, it was like two months in.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
But no, she was. She's so sweet and she literally
still spoils me. But she tells me all the time,
I'm like the daughter she's never had because she's such
a girl mom and she had four boys, so me
coming in she really definitely made her happy, So I
(24:59):
guess we could talk go out the rumors a little
bit that we've gone through. There's a lot of those,
a lot, But I guess it kind of stems from, like,
were you ever nervous when I posted you on Instagram
for the first time?
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I wasn't nervous, only because you started with a private Instagram,
so so like it was just like friends and like
random people. Yeah, but like there wasn't as many.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
As you have. Yeah, I had both, you had both.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And then like down the line where people started to find.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Out Instagram, Yeah, until I was twenty one. Yeah, because
you know, maybe I was doing some under a drinking.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
But yeah, okay, but no, never nervous, only for that
because that reason, because like then eventually like everyone find out,
yeah that we were together, So it wasn't like as
like how'd you say.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Public, but definitely dating someone in the public eye causes
a lot of attention. Like last week, I think I
was pregnant, Yeah, not pregnant. We're engaged, Yeah, we're engaged.
Everyone wants us to get engaged, but that doesn't like
the engagement doesn't really bother me, and those don't really
(26:22):
bother menant also it's like you guys, you think I
look fat. That's all I got from it, And I'm like, great,
I actually work my ass off in the gym every day.
But thank you so much, no, because it's just like,
obviously that's I think the cheating rumors are what bother
you the most. I mean they bother me the most too,
But then deep down I just know they're not true.
(26:45):
But I think you get very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
With them a little bit.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I think they just upset you. Yeah, why Yeah, I
think the biggest thing that you always say is I
don't understand why people want to ruin our relationship and
trying to like break it down basically. I mean, it
definitely isn't the nicest thing to hear. I mean it
definitely makes you think for a second.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's just like we're in such a good spot and
it's like that comes on us. It's like really, yeah,
like come on, I really needed that right now. Yeah,
and then it just turns to a headache for the
next week to investigate, and it's like, come on, I.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Feel like we investigated a little more than when we
were younger, and now we like.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Well, that was the year and a half because it
happened a lot, yeah, before you broke up. Yeah, it
did because I was going out all the time. I
was surrounded by like kids that were just hooking up
with girls left and right.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well that's the thing, his hometown friends.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
They all look the same, black hair, like this whole
get up, Like, they all.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Look the same.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
So basically that's kind of what happened when we were
in the process of breaking up. But with all those rumors,
actually the cheating rumors during that first year and a
half of us dating before we broke up, I would
get dms and text messages and videos of you constantly
not ever doing anything, just being there and being around,
(28:17):
you know, people that were doing things, and it was
kind of just guilty by association and it was just
things that a person in a relationship should not be around.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
And I agreed, So that was the true.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, So that was honestly the main reason why we
broke up. And now that was another reason, but the reasons, Yeah,
that was so for it. But now we really don't
get those that much, like if anything is like I
think I've actually gotten like one.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yeah, Like it's like I don't even know how long
since have time.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, but other than that, the pregnancy, the engagement, it's
all funny. It's just whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
But the pregnant ones stop calling me vab.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
So we're gonna answer some questions now from Instagram.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
What is your favorite thing about each other?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I see your hustle.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Okay, I think you keep me very calm. Your patients,
you're very patient. Thank you. I need that in my life.
Do you talk about marriage? Yes, I have my dream
wedding venue, but now I think this might need to
be a honeymoon destination because if you want guests there,
(29:41):
you need to make a realistic wedding venue and it
needs to be destination regardless, because you know, my dad's deported.
So yeah, we're trying to figure that out. Just we
like to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Would you ever do your own show together?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
First?
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, it's never really been a thought in my mind. Yeah,
doing and like the housewive? Would I want to be
like a house would you call it the house husband?
Speaker 1 (30:10):
I want? I would want you to be so behind.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
It's like you're like my space isn't the public eye,
Like I'm like one of those guys who likes to
do like the work, like nobody knows about it.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
No, I agree.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
You sticks over there and I stick over here.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, but I still like you to be involved with
me a little here, a little there, but not overkill.
Hate the overkill. Just to come around school. Yeah, I
love that. Okay, what are your summer plans? Down the shore?
I've been doing it for my whole life. Same Yeah, No,
(30:49):
we really aren't. Oh and Italy, Italy. We're going to
Italy for my cousin's wedding in May. I'm so excited.
It's going to be his first time in Italy and
I cannot wait to show him around.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm so excited.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Two and a half weeks. Two weeks, two weeks. Yeah,
we've shrutened it a little bit. It's literally going to
be Italy, straight down the shore. We're landing on the Friday,
Memorial Day weekend, straight to Janks, straight Stanks on Friday,
Oh Jans on Friday, sleeping What we went over this already.
(31:28):
What We're sleeping home Friday and I'm not going down
on that day. Oh so we're sleeping Friday. We're not
changing our trip Parker House Saturday. See you there. How
do you work your way through disagreements? I think that's
something we still work on honestly, But I think the
(31:50):
biggest thing is, if you.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Know, my basically thing is if we're in an argument
like trying to walk away, we're both heated, like just
like it gets us even more bad, Like when we're
like hanging up the phone and we're on the phone
just like going at each other that we hang up,
Like that's the most frustrating thing it is.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I think if we know, if I know I'm wrong,
it's better to just let you have the floor and
apologize to you and the other way around.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I'm gonna take my own advice and same with you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
If you know you're wrong, you honestly do apologize that
most of the time. Yeah, I feel like the biggest
way that we work through our disagreements, I mean it
is communication, but it's also giving us both time to
just quoll come back. How do you balance a busy
life and quality time together? So we both work a
(32:50):
lot during the day and a lot of the times
we like to come together at night. We always sleep together,
so we sleep together almost every night. We go back
and forth.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's the hardest part is that was thirty five
minutes from each other, so it's like annoying. It is
annoying again, done with the gym and your day. It's
seven thirty, it's a shower, dinner, it's the drive half hour.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Yeah, that's literally I think the biggest want for us
to move out is just because we also want to
see each other after ending our days. But the thirty
five minute drive does get a lot every other night
switching on and off between my house and his house.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So eventually if we obviously, eventually we're going to move
out and going to live together.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
But that's honestly, the biggest reason why is for us
to just live together rather than going back and forth.
But we both enjoy living home. We have younger siblings,
We have younger siblings like wet.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
That we financially can't move out. We can move out tomorrow,
ready to like once i'm ow, you're out. Yeah, I'm
just not coming back now.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Yeah, And honestly, basically all of our friends are still home.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
It's yeah, it's not anything that.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We're pushes, honest but it's like it's really not that
big of a deal, Like I'm twenty three or twenty four,
Like you don't have to be out of the house. No,
like there's people that live home that are older like this.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm sure it'll happen with the next Yeah, soon it'll Yeah,
I'm not we can't put a timeline on it, but
it's it's going to happen soon.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
I don't know when, but we'll take out my little at.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Home studio with us to apartment.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Or house. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
See, that's another thing that we're trying to figure out.
We don't know if we're getting an apartment or house.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
There's just a lot of things, so.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
One thing at a time.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
We just launched Casual Chaos.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Y's a lot from all the years of dating. What's
your favorite memory?
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Honestly our cruise to euro Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
It was so so much fun.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
We did a European cruise with Virgin Voyages.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And we went to Spain and friends and it was amazing,
so much fun.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Every day is the way to do it.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Yeah, it was so beautiful and then you have like
one day to chill on the cruise. But it was
an adults only cruise, so it was very relaxing. The
food was honestly pretty good. Yeah, it was really good. No,
I mean, yeah, it was great. But also one of
our favorite. One of my favorite memories is it was
(35:41):
our one year anniversary and we did a helicopter ride
around New York City and that was really cute. That
was really cool. If you moved in together, where would
you want to live? Yeah, I kind of want to
go closer to the city, just because I'm always in
(36:02):
the city for work, So that's a little bit of
a problem. Yeah, he works in Bergen County, So we're
kind of trying to find a happy medium as well
on where we would want to move to in Jersey.
I kind of want to be a little closer to
the city. He obviously wants to stay a little close
closer to Bergen County, so we have to find a
(36:24):
happy medium there too. So you have any suggestions of
towns in between Bergen County and the city. Let us
know what relationship advice do you have for others in
their twenties.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
Take it slow and enjoin the ride.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Love that seriously, No, but yeah, for real, there's no rush,
no rush. Just enjoy each other, don't fight over the
little things, and just listen to each other honestly. All right,
