Before meeting Berkus at the age of 26, his partner Jeremiah Brent had never been in a committed relationship, so their immediate chemistry on the first date in 2012 came as a pleasant surprise. In an interview given to the PEOPLE, Nate's husband stated:
"I distinctly recall asking God, what is this? This is not what I believed it to be. There was something about him that made me feel so safe in his company."
