They reconnected in early 2020 and decided to quarantine together amid the COVID-19 pandemic, during which their relationship blossomed.
“I have admired Kellee from afar for years. She’s a beautiful person inside and out,” Pennington told PEOPLE exclusively after the engagement. “Luckily our paths finally crossed at the right time. It’s one of those things where you just feel happy being around a person. I never thought I would get married, but she changed that. Glad I waited for the one.”
