How did Hannah Ann Sluss and Jake Funk meet?
While the two reportedly started dating in November 2021, Hannah Ann Sluss didn't hold herself back from revealing the story behind how they came in contact for the very first time, which led to their special bond. In a TikTok video, as per Bachelor Nation, Hannah said:
"I posted a TikTok that was trending and it caught his attention. He followed me on TikTok and ended up messaging me. I got home from a girls night and had some Moscow mules. I was laying in bed bored and lonely looking through my DMs and I got a DM from Jake that said, ‘Shooter’s shoot.’ I ended up saying back ‘Slam dunk.’"
While Hannah Ann Sluss was reportedly hesitant at first, the two ended up going on the dates. Remembering the experience, she added:
