The couple started dating in 2017, when Sarah was going through major health issues and needed a kidney transplant

"I'll be Johnny, you be June. But forever," the reality TV personality captioned in his Instagram post, quoting a song by Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors. The 28-year-old commented, "I love you to Pluto and back FIANCE. When we get married will I automatically acquire your talent for making everyone cry with a homemade video." The pair confirmed they were dating in October 2017, but during the course of their romance they've faced some tough challenges.

They met three days before Sarah´s second kidney transplant and Wells supported her through all the recovery. "It was a really intimate start to a relationship to have to go through those hurdles at the very, very, very beginning when you’re just even getting to know a person,” the actress said in an interview for Self.
