“We talked about that and we said there is no rush,” Marroquin told Radar at the time. “Long distance is already hard enough as it is. If we want to keep this friendship and get closer and get to know each other, there is no rush.”

In early September, the Air Force member also told the publication that he wouldn’t be opposed to having a relationship with the mom of two. “I would be open to dating Briana. She’s a really cool girl. Her whole family is awesome. She’s really beautiful. We text back and forth. We’ll see what happens,” he said at the time. The pair were later spotted out at dinner in New York City on September 16, and they took a trip to Disney World together with their children the following week.
