Thinking of you all r kid and I’m here if any of you need anything.
The couple were introduced through mutual friends before they fell for each other. Speaking to OK Magazine, Jamie said: “We built the friendship first – we both thought that was important – and then something deeper grew out of that. Then one day I came home and noticed her toothbrush had taken up residence in the bathroom. Then it was deodorant and perfume. Next thing she’d moved an entire shelf of her stuff in.
