Will told ELLE about the event that led to them taking the next step to romance. He said Viveca had invited him over for a drink where:

"She drank her beer in two sips— just pounded it, And she said, 'I think I still like you.' I was stunned. I didn't play it cool at all. I went, 'I just told my uncle that I'm going to marry you one day!"
