From the 'friend zone' to nearly two decades of marriage! 💛
Willie Geistof how he and his wife, Christina, became more than friends in high school after being childhood pals for years.. “We went to high school together, we went to college together, but we were buddies first. And I think even today, all these years later, that’s the foundation of our relationship is that we were always friends.”As for how they moved out of the friend zone?
“I have a very romantic secret. I made out with her on the roof of my friend’s house with some warm Bud Light in the red-hot fall of 1991,” the@christinasharkeygeist / Instagram When Hoda asked if they held hands at school after that, Willie acknowledged that they might have kept things low-key for a while.
“I don’t know if I did that,” he said. “I was like the cool football guy who couldn’t be seen holding hands.” Willie also said that after their moment together on the roof, he and Christina wondered at first whether their romance was the real deal.It was definitely a thing; the high school sweethearts tied the knot in 2003 and today they have two children, Lucie Joy, 14, and George William, 12.
