“’The day I met you, home was no longer a place it became a person and yes, you are a gypsy but there’s nobody else I would rather attach my wagon to on this beautiful road trip called life and with that, I said yes!” Donovan wrote on Instagram.

The couple met on dating app Bumble in 2020, and because of the lockdowns at the time at first couple only chat online and via Zoom calls.

In interviews Donovan had shared that she was cautious about meeting new people online after she was previously the victim of online catfishing.
