Ahead of the premiere, showrunners teased Instagram users with a 'special announcement,' and viewers rushed to the comment section to congratulate the young couple.

Tori is happy with the direction her life is taking and is excited about what the future might hold. She recently obtained a degree in education from The Crown College of the Bible.
