Lexie & Jake

November 1st, 2025

Lexie first met Jake through his sister, Claire, who has become a close friend at Holy Trinity Church. That friendship eventually led to Lexie moving in as a roommate in the charming Wicker Park neighborhood. About a year after Jake and Lexie were introduced—and just a few months after the move—Jake relocated to Wicker Park as well, just a few blocks away. Their paths began to cross more often, until one day, he asked her to take his headshot…

From there, the rest is history. They began dating in September 2023, and on February 1st of this year, he proposed!
