Brielle and Nicole met at a BBQ on July 4, 2014. They immediately began dating and moved in together about two and a half years ago. They bought a house together one year ago and have since adopted a second dog, Olive, to join their other dog, Madden. Brielle proposed to Nicole at Bayshore Waterfront on August 18, 2018, by putting down a gorgeous blanket on the beach with candles, where she asked Nicole to marry her. They celebrated with waterfront engagement photos in the same spot.
