Leigh and Jacob first met in November of 2018. Their first date was at the local dog park, because Jacob knew of Leighs love for dogs. Rocko, Jacobs Doberman Pinscher, made it a very memorable first date. Rocko was a young, intact dog at the time and was trying to mount dogs the entire time. While Jacob was embarrassed Leigh couldn't stop laughing. After spending some time together Leigh and Jacob officially started dating in May of 2020. During this time they got their first apartment together, and another dog named Diesel. Jacob proposed to Leigh while they were on vacation in Mexico Beach, Florida during the summer of 2024.
