Love Is Blind’s Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Milton Johnson celebrated their second wedding anniversary on Friday.
The couple met while working on the fifth season of the hit Netflix dating show then became engaged then wed in 2022.
Gonzalez, 33, recently told People that, although she had only been married to Johnson for a few years, she felt as if she had known him for an extended period of time.
‘It feels longer [than two years]. It’s like, “Oh really, just two years?”‘ she said.
‘I cannot imagine my life without Milton anymore, I don’t even remember what that was like,’ she added.
Her husband went on to remark that they had established a strong dynamic as a couple over the course of their marriage.
‘We’re still just as playful as we’ve always been… For me, it feels pretty normal. It’s two years. We’ve already been through everything [together],’ he said.
The pair went on to speak how they had to learn to maintain a long-distance relationship due to the demands of their respective careers.
Johnson stated: ‘Last year I ended up working on a project that had me living in California for four months and Lydia was coming every two weeks, or I was going to Texas every two weeks seeing each other.’
The pair commuted between California and Texas for an extended period of time before they both moved to Houston to live together.
The two went on to speak about how they had to learn how to coordinate their busy schedules in order to make time for one another.
Gonzalez remarked: ‘It is a challenge, but it’s literally taught us how to really get organized because if we don’t get organized, it just gets too complicated.’
The pair is currently planning on celebrating the end of Johnson’s time in grad school by traveling, and they are also looking forward to purchasing a home in the future.
Gonzalez concluded by speaking about her favorite aspects of her husband’s personality.
‘I think it’s the capacity of Milton to understand my feelings and to be there when I need him the most,’ she said.
The geologist continued: ‘I’ve gone through some hurdles in the past few months and he has shown up at every single one of them and he has been there for me and he stops whatever he’s doing to just listen and be there for me.’
Gonzalez added that she felt ‘so blessed’ to be able to call Johnson her husband.
