Dexter and Leia first connected through her dad’s business, where he was working on a project for him. Greg told Dexter to call Leia to confirm the details — and casually added, “Oh, by the way, it’s her birthday.”

That birthday phone call became the start of their story.

As their conversations continued, they quickly realized how naturally they connected.

True to her outgoing nature, Leia asked Dexter out on their first date. They began their relationship around Valentine’s Day 2024, and from that moment on, they’ve been inseparable.

As they've continued their relationship, they've discovered how much they've shared — especially their love for rodeo and their three beloved corgis, who quickly approved of the pairing. Their conversations felt easy, natural, and full of the things they both cared about - building a life rooted in love, adventure, and a whole lot of corgi hair.
