Maintaining a Long-Distance Marriage with Husband

The couple’s love story began in the summer of 2012 when they met in Little Rock, Arkansas. They found a topic to relate to and became best friends despite the fact that they had only recently begun their journaling careers.

They began dating in 2013 and maintained a long-distance relationship whenever they moved to different cities for work. For example, when the Fox 5 D.C. reporter relocated to Washington D.C. for reporting in 2014, her partner was supportive. Fortunately, he was hired at the same station six months later.

The couple, who were in love, got engaged in 2015 and married on August 20, 2016, at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. For the big day, the former 6ABC anchor wore a white sleeveless mermaid tulle wedding gown, while her fiancé wore a matching black tuxedo.

Despite the grand occasion, the newlyweds had little time to celebrate as husband and wife. Reyes had signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with a Philadelphia station just two months before their wedding. As a result, after the wedding, they maintained a long-distance marriage.

Finally, Reyes returned to Washington, D.C., on December 7, 2020, and began living with her husband. She works for Fox 5 D.C., and her husband works for ABC7.
