Love at First Sight: How Jack Young and Eliza De Jesus Found Love on Reddit

Key Highlights :

1. A Grimsby man and American woman are set to marry after they met online.

2. Jack Young, 28, and Eliza De Jesus, 26, met on the discussion site Reddit before their relationship blossomed.

3. The pair first met online in January 2021 and started dating almost immediately, before meeting face to face around a year later.

4. Eliza, who lives in South Carolina, says she knew just from hearing Jack's voice that he could be the one for her.

5. Now, after a surprise proposal, the two of them are set to tie the knot in October this year.

6. Eliza said: "We met in January 2021 through Reddit and started dating one another online almost immediately. However, we didn't actually meet one another in person until the end of the year when I flew to the UK. "I stayed for around a month and on New Year's Eve Jack proposed to me. Ever since then, we've been going back and forth, taking it in turns to spend about three months in either country at a time. I kept it pretty quiet at first and only told my mum, but about a month ago I told the rest of my family and they're very excited."

7. She added: "As soon as we spoke to one another, I pretty much knew straight away that I really liked him. "I told him my life story on our first call, from the good to the bad and he should've run away then, but he didn't. That's when I knew he was the one."

8. Jack and Eliza fell in love almost instantly.

9. Some have criticised the pair for meeting online, but Eliza says it doesn't matter how you find love in the modern day.

10. "It's 2023, you can meet anyone any where. Your options are not just the local people, the love of your life could be half way across the world and you would never know if you didn't look for it."

     When Jack Young and Eliza De Jesus first started talking on Reddit in January 2021, they had no idea that their relationship would blossom into something so special. After months of talking online, the two finally met in person at the end of the year and Jack proposed on New Year's Eve. Now, the 28-year-old Grimsby man and the 26-year-old American woman are set to tie the knot in October this year.

     Eliza, who lives in South Carolina, says that she knew from the sound of Jack's voice that he was the one for her. She said: "We met in January 2021 through Reddit and started dating one another online almost immediately. However, we didn't actually meet one another in person until the end of the year when I flew to the UK. I stayed for around a month and on New Year's Eve Jack proposed to me."

     The couple have been going back and forth between the UK and the US ever since, taking turns to spend around three months in each country. Eliza said: "I kept it pretty quiet at first and only told my mum, but about a month ago I told the rest of my family and they're very excited."

     Although some people have criticised the couple for meeting online, Eliza believes that it doesn't matter how you find love in the modern day. She said: "It's 2023, you can meet anyone any where. Your options are not just the local people, the love of your life could be half way across the world and you would never know if you didn't look for it."

     Jack and Eliza have been planning their wedding since February this year and, after they are married, the plan is for Jack to move to the US. Eliza has visited Grimsby a couple of times and enjoyed her time there, but she believes that they will be better off living in America.

     Jack and Eliza's story is a reminder that you never know where you will find love. Whether you meet someone online or in person, you can never be sure that it will be the right person until you take the chance and get to know them. Jack and Eliza took a chance on each other and, in the end, it paid off.
