Joshua Faulkner, Chudney Ross's husband, met her most unusually. It started on an ordinary day with him scrolling through his Facebook feed.

While looking through his friend's images, he stopped suddenly when one photo grabbed his attention. Joshua decided to look closer at the picture as he found the woman's smile and big bright eyes intriguing.

He was so fascinated by her that their mutual friend later arranged for them to meet for cocktails. At the bar, things were so loud that Joshua had to move closer to Chudney so they could hear each other, and soon enough, they were talking comfortably.

She did something strange during that meeting, but it wasn't so bad that it turned him off wanting to know her. Showing how hilarious Joshua found what she did, he laughed when he revealed that Chudney reached out to touch his face at one point, with him adding:

"It was weird. She totally 'petted me' on our first date."

She didn't deny her actions and confessed how handsome he was. Chudney said it was so rare to meet a gentleman in Los Angeles that she "needed to touch him" to confirm that he wasn't a figment of her imagination.

After six years of dating, Joshua proposed to Diana Ross's daughter at their home, with only the two of them and their baby girl, Callaway, witnessing it. The then-toddler's role was to hand over to her mother a box wrapped in a drawing she'd done.
