When they met ...10 years later

Austin gives a clue that he's in LA with his tweet and Jake gets seen at the Dr.'s office in Beverly Hills.

And it looks like Jake and Austin were having a little In-n-Out late last night. Well the burgers that is.... wonder if it was animal style?

And since there is no In-N-Out, it seems the pair must be in Cali.

It's kind of fitting that they were seen this week, since it was this time in May ten years ago, they first met and their lives has never been the same since.

From the old WFT:

"It was during casting of TDAT, Austin walked in and the rest was history. They couldn't take their eyes off each other." - How They Met - WFT 9 February 2007

Austin was just 22 and barely out of USC, Jake was 21 and no doubt fell hard for the boy with one of the most devastatingly handsome grins ever. One look from those big blue eyes was all it took.

And proof that they fell hard fast, was that by June Austin was already seen with Jake in New York at the Lotus Club Anniversary Party. And had already met Maggie. Shooting for TDAT didn't begin until November.

By September it looks like Jake didn't head to the Toronto Film Fest alone by the looks of that big, big stone ring Jake had his finger, much like you would wear you boyfriend's ring going steady in high school.And the ring thing begins:

Of course by November they were filming for the next 5 months together, Austin's watchful eye over Jake as he celebrated his birthday that December. And of course the domesticity of adventures in cooking. It must be love if get excited about hot radishes.

And after TDAT wrapped. Jake headed to England for a bit while Austin was working on Wimbledon.

Although there were no pictures of them together at the TDAT premiere, but there were signs of them together. Snowballs, and teasing. And again Austin's watchful eye.

The first real public night was at the premiere of Casanova in November of 2005. But there were smiles and grins and ears that told us that Austin was near before that now as we look back.

And then there's Jake's black diamond engagement ring.

But it was the Lakers in 2006 that real showed the world how deeply this had grown in those almost four years together.

And of course Austin's Big Blue.

And later something a little more simple but even more special.


As hard and fast as it happened back then, it has remained long and endearing right up to today.

What they found that day ten years ago was something so special, truly it was love.

So much has happened this past ten years, but their love and devotion remains and their love, life, and family together.
