According to Martha StewartThe fashion photographer didn’t ask for her information at the time, thinking Courtney was a member of his mentor’s family. After learning of his error years later, he contacted her—he had contacted his future wife for a test shoot, only to discover that she was no longer modeling.

Courtney introduced a replacement friend, but attended the class anyway. They ended up in the same room.

However, it wasn’t love at first sight for Courtney, who was moving to Los Angeles, but Leepole made his intentions clear that day and asked her out the following week.

On their 7th wedding anniversary, Courtney wrote on her Instagram, “Me: looking at Rona like you should go somewhere. We are so sick of you. 7 years later and he still supports me. Happy anniversary to me @jarrellelee ❤️This time next year we will be married Covid or not. 🍋 #covidbride #feyoncefriday #engaged #blacklove #blackbachelorette #courtedbyjay #postponed #itsouranniversary #naturalbride #naturalhairstyles #quarantinebae”
