"I'm not that much of a romantic, I guess. I just went to Cleveland with my girlfriend for her brother's wedding. That was fun hanging out with her, spending time with her parents. I like to think I made a lot of sacrifices that weekend," he shared.

"We had to fly Spirit Airlines because that was the only direct flight into Cleveland at the time. So that was a massive sacrifice, having to sit on Spirit Airlines seats you can't recline to go hang out in my girlfriend's hometown."

Fans are curious to get more details about the lucky lady who won his heart. Hopefully, more tidbits might come up in the nearest future.
