A COVID love story.

So, she used some of that time to read her private messages on Instagram.

“There was one [message] that just said, ‘Congrats on the show!

I’m a huge fan.

I wish you all the success in the world.’

Or something like that,” Myha’la said.

“So, I looked at his profile and was like, ‘Oh, he’s kind of cute.

I guess I’ll watch it.'”

Armando recorded himself asking Myha’la if he could interview her for a school project.

What was supposed to be a 5 to 10-minute Zoom call turned into a 45-minute one.

Myha’la could feel a connection between them.

Before they ended the call, she remembers flirting with him and asking him questions about himself.

She felt herself being cringey again, when she followed up with Armando about the interview.

She then audibly screamed, still embarrassed by what she wrote him.

But Armando didn’t find it embarrassing because that sparked their initial consistent message exchange.

They chatted for three weeks on social media before Armando took the leap and asked for her phone number.

The number exchange then led to “COVID-esque FaceTime dates.”

Now, they’re planning their wedding.

If that’s not a meet-cute story, I don’t know what is!

But she can tell the story better than I can.
