A love story years in the making

Sonny and Kaia’s relationship traces back to their high school years in Pickerington, Ohio, where the two first met at a charity basketball event. Friends describe their bond as “steady and strong,” built on shared values and a deep sense of purpose. When Styles committed to Ohio State, Kaia was right beside him — cheering through every milestone, from his first interception to his All-Big Ten honors.

“She’s been there through it all — the late nights, the pressure, the injuries,” said a source close to the couple. “She’s seen him at his best and his worst, and he’s never stopped saying that she’s his calm in the storm.”
