This couple met on TikTok mid-pandemic. Watch the moment they finally meet in person
This cross-border couple — one in Saskatchewan, the other in Ohio — met on TikTok in the middle of the pandemic. Now they have a baby boy and are finally together.

The pandemic has changed people's lives in many ways, but perhaps not in the same way as it has for Saskatchewan's Jada Hamilton and Ohio's Jenni Middleton.
The cross-border couple met by chance on TikTok in August 2020, and quickly fell in love over marathon FaceTime calls. But they couldn't be together for months, due to pandemic-related travel restrictions.
By the time they finally met in person nearly a year later, they had an extra person in their world — a baby boy named Zayden.
