Jacob decided to join Kasandra and a mutual friend of theirs for dinner at Jones Dining Hall during their first semester at TXST. After that, the two of them began hanging out daily and started dating the following year. Jacob ended up transferring and the couple dated long distance until Kasandra graduated in 2017. Jacob proposed at Palmetto State Park and the pair spent the rest of the day in San Marcos, walking around campus and reminiscing about when they were students. They were married in 2021.
