We initially met at the boxing gym we were at in July 2021 while we were both training for fights in December.

At first, it was a solid friendship, with weekly sleepovers, dinner dates, a few sparring sessions, and the odd few kisses.

But realistically, that friendship quickly developed, and we became each other's person. It took Stew a while to get the bottle, but he finally succumbs to the idea that he could buy one family member and get two free in taking on two little humans.

So after the first proper date in August and another three months of 'bestfriendship' we decided to give it a go.

4 years later and here we are. No one is saying it’s been easy. But it’s been worth it.
