Host Bryan Ford prepare the same food from their first date and Wells explained why the meal is still “nostalgic” for them.

“When we first started dating, I remember I would fly out from Nashville to Los Angeles, and I cooked for [Sarah] and made [her] … shrimp tacos one night and my famous skirt steak recipe tacos,” he explained.

Wells shared that Sarah asked him about his “death row meal”, declaring that hers would be Wells‘ tacos.

“[It] was very honorable,” Wells added.

“At the time, our relationship was in secret, like, we didn’t release that information, and she was also going through some health issues, she had just gotten a kidney transplant,” Wells continued. Sarah noted, “I was in quarantine, so I couldn’t leave the house because my immune system was so, so very low.”

“When we first started dating, it’s not like we could go out to restaurants, and it’s not like we had a first date at a restaurant. Our first meal together was at my house in Studio City. He came and visited and made us shrimp tacos,” she continued.

“It was funny because I lived in Nashville for 12 years, and there were a couple of years when I lived with my sister … and I remember we did the shrimp tacos and my sister texted me, ‘You’re not that slick. I know what you’re doing. You made your shrimp tacos’ … ’cause I think Sarah had posted something like, ‘This is what I’m eating tonight,’ ” Wells said.

Sarah said that they had a “wonderful night” and added, “He had cooked for me, and I never had a man cook for me before, so it was really special. And obviously, I love tacos, and he was just so good at making them.”

Wells and Sarah started dating in 2017, and he popped the question in 2019. The original wedding was postponed due to the pandemic and the couple finally said “I do” during an outdoor ceremony at Sunstone Winery last year near Santa Barbara, Calif.

Earlier this year, Sarah opened up about how her life has changed since marrying Wells. Find out what she said here.
