Jamal Jackson + Stacy Stewart met on Sunday, August 1st, 2021 at the Chicago Greek Picnic at Jackson Park in Chicago, IL. They exchanged phone numbers and Jamal reached out the very next day asking to take her out for sushi! After the first date there was a spark, but it wasn’t the kind of spark you see in movies. It was something much quieter—a connection that whispered rather than shouted. They started exclusively dating on Saturday, January 22nd, 2022 at 5:42pm. Jamal decided he could not do life without her on June 28th, 2024, when he proposed.
See below for a chronicle of their journey.
