Since Darcey is based in Connecticut, the couple met up in New York City for their first in-person meeting. After going on several dates with Georgi, the couple was faced with an issue in their long-distance relationship. The coronavirus pandemic had reached a peak in the United States in March 2020, and many states imposed lockdowns to help slow the spread of COVID-19. In order to keep their relationship going, Darcey and Georgi decided to move in together after just weeks of dating.

The ladies met for lunch during a trip to Virginia during the 2020 holiday season to help Georgi move the rest of his belongings from his old apartment.
