Gerrit Cole and Amy’s relationship history
The couple met while they were both students at UCLA. “I remember thinking she was the prettiest girl I had ever met and I wanted to get to know her,” Gerrit recalled about their first encounter. They subsequently became friends and it was a while before they began dating.
“I was moving into my new apartment and Gerrit drove an hour and a half after a wedding just to help me move,” Cole explained. “My mom was there with me and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday. That’s the day I decided to take him up on that first-date offer from the year prior” (via Inside Weddings).
