Both Michael and Ally are not avid social media users but they do share cute pictures of one another from time to time. According to our research, Michael and his girlfriend Ally were both in New York University during the same time which leads us to believe their relationship started in college.

Sadly her elder brother died in 2015 and Ally wrote beautifully about the pain and grief she went through in her advanced writing course at NYU.

All we want to say is we hope to see them reach their second anniversary and get to celebrate many more in the future.
