"She laughed after our first kiss" - Joey Logano shares story of awkward first date with wife Brittany Baca
Team Penske driver Joey Logano recently shared the story of the first date of his life, which he had with his wife, Brittany Baca. He divulged that she had laughed after their first kiss.
Logano and Baca got married in 2014, but they have known each other for a long time. They first met at an ice rink owned by Logano's family.
When Logano was asked about the first date of his life, he said it was with Baca. She was 16 at the time, meaning Logano was around 18. Talking about the date, the Penske driver gave some details: they went to a movie, after which they shared a kiss, which was his first. However, it didn't turn out how he expected.
"Alright, so my first date was with now my wife," Joey Logano said (at 0:03). "Okay, we were 16 years old my first date. She shows up, she's 16, and she has her family with her. Then I had to go to Chili's with the family because I had to get approval from the family to go to the movie's later."
"We watched The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith, which we didn't really watch much of the movie, we were talking most of it. And at that point I had my first kiss. I kissed there, and she looked at me and laughed."
