"I followed him on social media, he followed me on social media, he was tweeting one night, and I was like, 'aren't you supposed to be in bed?' He's like,'I was waiting for your response.' Ever since then, we have not stopped talking," she said (12:05 onwards).

Further in the podcast, the couple shared how they traveled to see each other in the summer before college. Based in Los Angeles, Tara often drove to San Diego and visit Hunter, who had relocated to the Olympic Training Center. Meanwhile, Woodhall would take the train to LA to spend time with her.
