How it all began

“He ignored me the first time we met. I tried to flirt, he served me my drink and then walked away.”

— Donald

“I wasn’t going to make it too easy for him. I can appreciate a man that doesn’t take no for an answer.”

— Julius

Julius and Donald met on Instagram through a mutual friend wearing a T-shirt Julius designed from his own label. Donald was intrigued, him owning his own fashion label. They met in person during Southern Decadence of 2023 while Julius was bartending at The Bourbon Pub. The true connection didn’t happen until 6 months later during Mardi Gras of 2024 while Donald was out with his group of friends visiting New Orleans. After many phone conversations and FaceTimes, they started dating, going back and forth between Houston and New Orleans. A month later, Julius moved to Houston, and one year and a half later, we're best friends, true loves, and THE power couple in life.

And the rest is history

Donald and Julius are living and thriving in Houston, TX with their two pups King and Duke. They both enjoy hearing each others creative ideas, traveling, being the best of gym bros, and binging true crime.

Our Engagement

Donald asked Julius to share the stage with him during the finale walk of King Underwear’s first Fashion Show on April 26, 2024 at South Beach in Houston. Julius had no idea this night would be more memorable for the both of them.
