The question here lies, was it love at first sight situation?
Apparently not as Robinson stated,
“It was not a romantic thing at first,”
“It was really just a human connection like, ‘Wow, I need to be around this person all the time. We stayed in touch after the show and started dating pretty soon afterwards.”
With their first date being confusing and a kiss solving it all, the star couple ended up dating for four years.
After their four years together, the beautiful pair decided to take a step further, which involved wedding bells in 2012.
