The couple met while studying at the University of Southern California in 2007. Tony was a sophomore from Incline Village, Nevada, and Kevin was a senior from just north of San Diego, preparing himself for law school the next year at Berkeley. In February 2008, both men realized they were going solo for Valentine's Day, and on a whim, they decided to take each other out for drinks. "Our new friendship quickly developed into a full-blown relationship," Tony explained. "Outside of our classes, we spent nearly every hour together watching movies, going to the beach, and taking far too many trips to the frozen yogurt store down the street - we even spent a few hours together when we probably should have been in class," Tony joked.
