Nick Jensen and Jenner Jensen's love story

Nick Jensen and Jenner were together since childhood. The duo met when they were just 5 in a daycare. Growing up next door to each other in the Minneapolis suburb of Rogers, Minnesota, Nick and Jenner formed a close childhood friendship.

“It was me and Nick and about four other guys that hung out basically every day so we started as friends,” Jenner said as per RMNB.

“I remember we were close friends early on and we would BMX to the movies or to Dairy Queen all the time. There would be nights that I would sneak out of my house and he would meet me outside his house just to hang out.”

As they entered middle school, their friendship grew into something more. In 7th grade, 12-year-old Nick asked Jenner to be his girlfriend. Their young love blossomed through high school while they both became stars on their respective sports teams.

After high school, Nick and Jenner's relationship continued to thrive despite attending different colleges.

On a dark night in their hometown of Rogers, 23-year-old Nick surprised Jenner by pretending his truck was having mechanical trouble. He pulled into a field that he had secretly prepared, with pillows, blankets and wine ready for a romantic proposal. When he popped the question, Jenner happily accepted.

On August 22, 2015, Nick and Jenner tied the knot at a country club in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, surrounded by family and friends.
