Jared Goff's fiancée Christen Harper recounts nervous first date with Lions QB - "Love at first sight"

Jared Goff and Christen Harper are easily one of the NFL's most popular couples. Having been together for years, Harper and Goff seldom shy away from sharing details of their relationship on social media. Though they have shared a timeline of their relationship with fans before, there are still parts left to be uncovered.

In a recent appearance on 'The Morning After' with Kelly Stafford, Harper recounted her first date with Jared Goff. The two met through an app, making theirs a modern-day love story.

As per Harper, they met online when it was still not easily understood. Furthermore, the SI Swimsuit model wasn't even looking for a boyfriend. But something about the Detroit Lions QB made her stick around.

Apparently, Goff made Harper nervous on their first date.

"It was pretty much my first date. First proper date in life where you don't know someone before he picked me up," Harper said.

Harper even spoke of the experience in detail, and how Jared Goff was making her feel fancy and appreciated.

"He took me to Georgio Baldi. Which is very nice, I had never been there. I lived in Santa Monica at the time, so it was right down the street for me. And I felt so fancy. I remember, I was not - I wasn't looking for a boyfriend at the time. So, I was like, 'Okay, whatever. I'll go'. I met him, and I was instantly like, 'Oh my God'. I got nervous, which I never, around guys. But, I got nervous. It was so cute, looking back that I was like that. It was like love at first sight. We connected right off the bat. It was definitely butterflies".
