Bates and Smith met in 2015 through a mutual friend and began courting in November 2016. The relationship was long-distance until Smith graduated from college in 2018 and moved to Tennessee to be closer to Bates.

Batesgave birth to son Kadeon Nov. 9, 2018, and the new parents told PEOPLE exclusively at the time that his arrival “has truly been the most surreal experience to walk through together.”

“Every moment with him just seems to glue this new family together, and we are so excited about the future we know God has in store for his life,” they added.
