In 2019, Tosin moved to Canada, while Dara moved to the United States for her graduate studies, but they occasionally still communicated and checked on each other.

And in 2023, things took a different turn after she moved to Canada.

"We first crossed paths in 2012 during our very first year at Babcock University. The funny part? Neither of us can actually remember how we met, so no “meet-cute” moment here, just two people whose lives quietly intertwined...
"In 2019, life took us in different directions: Tosin moved to Canada, and I to the U.S. for grad school. Though oceans apart, we still checked in occasionally, swapping stories about school, work, relationships, and always celebrating each other’s milestones.
"Fast forward to July 2023. I had just moved to Canada when fate stepped in."

Regarding how they began dating, Dara recounted that they ran into each other at a mutual friend's house in Toronto, and the spark was reignited.

Tosin then asked her to be his girlfriend, and on September 27, 2023, and on April 27, 2025, they got married.
