Recently, Hunter took to Instagram to share a touching story that beautifully highlighted his affection for Tara. The post showcased a photo of him, sporting a bright smile and a white t-shirt, but what truly caught everyone’s eye was the background—featuring Tara’s poster. In a lighthearted caption, he jokingly pondered, “Bro, how did you even get this photo?” It appeared that the picture was posted by someone else initially, as the subsequent caption revealed, “I have a bone to pick with @lululemon.” Additionally, the caption included a playful remark, “This amazing picture of Tara and you do my dawg @hunter like this.”
Two years ago, Hunter playfully decided to try his hand at long jumping, envisioning the length of her jumps to be over 1 ½ full-sized trucks. To his surprise, he cleared five toy trucks, equivalent to about 10 feet, during his attempt. He defeated his girlfriend in her own event. Their relationship is undoubtedly one of the most adorable, but did you know how this love story started?
