Hello. Hi. Hi. Oh, I'm so excited to talk to you guys today. Oh, we just popped in on you. We didn't even give you no warning or nothing. Nothing. I saw you as I was looking. I was scouting for you guys. How's it going? You'd so nice there. You guys look great. Look at my hair looking crazy right now. I was researching you guys and everything. I was so excited because like you just stand. You guys are so in love with each other. And I'm just so excited to talk to you guys because just you can tell. It's just like the cutest, cutest thing. But I also heard about how you guys met and everything. How weren't your your friends, you were kind of like, oh, like give her my number?

Reggie Bush

Yeah, so actually we actually saw each other, um, at, at an uh, at an event. And um, we actually didn't speak and she was sitting like a couple rows behind. Was it a couple rows or one row?

Lilit

Uh, like a couple rows, like one or two rows behind me.

Reggie Bush

And uh, she wasn't with me. She was she was with another guy there. And I later found out it wasn't like an actual like date or anything like that. No, I'm just kidding. It was. It was. Nah, she was just uh, she was just helping out one of her friends. That was it. But um, we saw each other and we didn't speak. And so a year later, one of my uh, a mutual friend of ours brought her name up in a conversation. I was like, oh yeah, whatever happened to her, like, can you hook me up? And uh, of course, he acted like, you know, he had he was the plug. And uh he was like, you know, he had the the connection. So, um, I told him to pass my number to her. And we text. And uh she actually didn't text me right away, huh?

Lilit

No.

Young Hollywood

Why did you decide to wait? Was there some

Lilit

I made her wait for a while. And then this that the mutual, um, friend, he asked me again, like if have I have I texted him, he's waiting. So that was kind of.

Reggie Bush

No, man. That's how we ain't no. We got a couple kids, couple kids, we got it. It was it was a confirmation that there was truly an interest and it wasn't just kind of, you know, like a light.

Lilit

Yeah.

Reggie Bush

Yeah, so we um, we started we started talking. We started dating. And then um, you know, one thing led to another. And um, you know what, one of the things I always appreciated about her was she was always independent, you know, even for me, she never needed me. Um and I think that was one of the things that attracted me to her the most is just how independent she was. Um, you know, she would fly herself to come see me. You know, she wouldn't even let me, you know, pay for her flights. You know what I mean? Or she would try to pay for dinners or or anytime we went out and you know, it's it's obviously as a as a man, I think it's our job to obviously um, pay for those things. And um, you know, do those things. But just the fact that she even offered to me told me who she was as a person.

Young Hollywood

For sure. And when she wasn't texting you during that time, what were you thinking? Were you thinking about it constantly or you kind of just blocked it out?

Reggie Bush

I thought I didn't have a shot in the beginning. I I because uh, I just wasn't sure if she was going to text me. And um, and I actually had asked that's funny because I actually asked somebody else who I knew knew her. Um, to uh, connect us and he didn't do it. He was a he was a hater.

Young Hollywood

Oh my god. What what what did you feel when you finally got the text?

Reggie Bush

Um, I was excited. You know what I mean? I was excited to get to know her and um, I was excited at the opportunities, you know, for us to to date. And um, I was happy. Yeah, definitely.

Young Hollywood

Reggie Bush

But that was that's new, you know, that wasn't always new. That ain't new. I've been doing that since I played football my whole life. So football practice starts early.

Lilit

On the opposite side that this is new. It's a new it's on a new journey with um, with uh his he's on a new spiritual journey that kind of wakes him up early every day and he's in his room meditating, you know, praying, preparing how he's going to lead lead our family that day. Um, so it's I'm just I'm so blessed and thankful that that I have that with him.

Young Hollywood

Who's the more romantic one?

Reggie Bush

Uh, I would say that's her. You know, she's she uh, her love language is is touching. And so for me, that was something I had to adjust to because I think you know, playing my sport in football. Um one of the things that, you know, you kind of turn off is that sensitivity, right? And and some of that compassion. All those different things that can be looked at as a sign of weakness, you know, in my profession. Um and so she kind of taught me those things, you know, all over again. And helped me to kind of get back to that. And I've always appreciated her for that. And she's always been a sucker for romantic movies, too.

Lilit

Yes, he did have to adjust. going out. He would not hold my hand. He wouldn't hold her hand. My gosh, and there was that was like the biggest no-no for me. And he wouldn't hold my hands. He's never He didn't grow up seeing that. He never done it himself. So that small even that small shift was so huge for him. But it was, you know, it was like the biggest thing for me when we started holding hands.
