Strong met her future fiancé through her new agent at the time.

The pair were introduced at a Christmas party in December 2019 — just days prior to Strong’s month-long trip to California and Jack’s two-week voyage to Cuba.

“I talk to the man with the mustache. He’s very cute. I have social anxiety, and I’m drunk and tired, so I have no idea what we talk about. He comes home with me,” Strong penned of their meet-cute in a first-person essay forVulturein 2020.

“The next morning I’m a little more shy. He is less shy. ‘Can I give you my number?’ he asks. I hand him the pink-flamingo pen my psychiatrist gave me that week. I find an old receipt, and he writes “Jack” and his phone number on the back,” she continued. “Now I have to text him first in order for him to have my number. I text him right after he leaves. I like him.

Strong has opened up about meeting Jack while grieving the loss of a relative

Strong first mentioned she was dating Jack in a first-person essay forVulturein 2020, in which she explained the mixed emotions she felt of falling in love while simultaneously grieving a close family relative. The couple met a month prior to the death of her younger cousin Owen, who died of brain cancer in January 2020.

“At first I thought it was so difficult to meet someone right as I was losing someone I loved so much. I knew he’d have to be patient with me. He’d have to let me grieve,” she wrote. “It would be easier not to even try during that process. But grieving for Owen was like nothing I’d ever experienced, and I promised Owen and myself to continue to let all that love be there along with the sadness.”

The pair made their first public appearance together at the 2020 SheBelieves Cup in Frisco, Texas. Strong marked the special occasion with a celebratory Instagram video in which theSNLalum showed off her personalized U.S. Women’s National Team soccer jersey.

“I spent International Women’s Day watching the best team on earth @uswnt win a soccer game,” shecaptioned the post.

In herVultureessay, Strong wrote of their date:  “He’s excited to be there, to watch women’s soccer with me. He gets choked up when he sees the number of little girls who get to have sports heroes, as it’s still rare even though they are the most badass team in the world. But I digress. Jack is loving the game.“

Jack proposed to Strong in 2023

During an appearance onLate Night with Seth Meyers, the actress revealed that she and Jack had gotten engaged in December 2023. Strong explained that in a comedic turn of events Jack’s big surprise was unfortunately spoiled when she accidentally saw a text pop up on his cell phone.

“One day he was like, ‘I’m so inundated with emails and texts, look at this.' And he showed me his phone, and the first text was from a friend that said, ‘How did it go?! Ring emoji,' " Strong recalled on the show. “And then, I was like. ‘Oh no, should I?’ And he went, ‘Did you see that?’ And I was like, ‘I could try very hard to lie, but…’ So then I knew.”

And despite Jack’s good-hearted effort, the ring only fit Strong’s index finger.

“I don’t know my ring size — I wear like every size ring. So, he took one of those, and it was five sizes too big,” Strong explained, adding with a laugh, “I was wearing it on my index finger for a long time. Not as a statement, it just would’ve fallen off.”
