Gabrielle moved to Buffalo in 2016 to attend graduate school, where she met Randy. While completing their course work at the University at Buffalo to receive their Masters in Literacy, they became close during a summer practicum class. They exchanged numbers at a friend's birthday party in the summer of 2018 and began dating by Christmas. They also quarantined together during Covid, which truly solidified the relationship. They love to travel, go on walks around Buffalo, cook together, go to concerts, and host friends. They taught each other to love the New York Mets (Let's go Mets) and the Buffalo Bills (Go Bills). Randy and Gabrielle are both teachers in Western New York. Randy is a special education teacher in the Ken-Ton school district and Gabrielle is a reading specialist in West Seneca. After dating for seven years, they are extremely excited to begin this new chapter together.
