The second date started at dinner, then made a detour to a bar down the street to continue the conversation. Several hours later, Jada and Jarel said their goodbyes, sealing the date with their first kiss. The date was October 11, 2018, seven years to the date that they will make their union official.

On December 21, 2023, Jada and Jarel were getting ready to go to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse to celebrate their fifth anniversary. After pouring a drink and toasting the occasion, Jarel told Jada he had a gift and asked her to close her eyes. Even though Jada knew what the gift was from a prior conversation they had, she played along. Imagine her surprise when Jarel said to open her eyes and he was on one knee with her engagement ring in his hand.
