Danica mentions, “I met Aaron a long time ago… We met in 2012, so, we met at the ESPY’s. I remember it was some kind of afterparty… We were at the bar getting some drinks and, ‘oh hey!’ we started talking. He was throwing in some movie lines. I mean, this guy is really funny! We kind of randomly kept in touch from that point on and that’s it.”
