WWE Superstar Sonya Deville recently disclosed how she met her girlfriend, Toni Cassano, on Instagram.
Earlier this year, the former Tough Enough competitor started dating Cassano. The couple brought their relationship to light by posting several photos with each other on their social media, expressing their love for one another.
In a recent Q&A live session on Instagram, the couple revealed how they first met.
"Super short version: Instagram. Longer version: We were both obsessed with each other and stalked each other's Instagram for years before we spoke" Cassano said. "We were both respectful of what we had going on at the time and so she slid in the DMs when she got single and I happened to be single so it was perfect," Deville added. (3:33 - 4:02)
