Landen and Jianna first met in math class when Jianna was in 8th grade, and Landen was in 9th grade. After that year, they lost touch, not knowing their paths would cross again years later. During Jianna’s senior year, they unexpectedly reconnected at a basketball game while Landen was home for Christmas break from his prep basketball program. What started as a simple reconnection quickly turned into constant conversations, with the two talking and calling each other all the time. When Landen returned home permanently, their friendship grew into a relationship, and they officially began dating. Not long after, they faced a season of long distance while Landen attended college in Indiana on a basketball scholarship. Despite the miles between them, their relationship continued to grow stronger. Eventually, Landen returned to California to pursue a career in law enforcement, later joining the Burbank Police Department. Through every season—distance, change, and new beginnings—their relationship continued to grow, leading them to this moment for their love story to continue.
