In 2014, Rochell was attending the University of Notre Dame and Kuch was a student at Michigan State University when they crossed paths. Though Kuch knew of him through mutual connections, they hadn’t officially been introduced until theirmeet-cute at a house party. Kuch has recalled the moment several times over the years, including during a February 2023 appearance on theFun on Weekdayspodcast.
“I ended up taking a train from Michigan State to Notre Dame to visit my sister because I was like I need my security blanket,” she told hostJenna Palek. “I was at a Notre Dame party and a guy came up to me and started talking to me, and I was like, let’s take a shot. And at that time, Isaac didn’t drink … Then, we got to talking and literally our first conversation was about love.”
As it turns out, Rochell made an embarrassing — yet sweet — snafu following their meet-up. “After our first date, he texted me a text for his brother and was like ‘I just met the girl i’m going to marry,’ " Kuch said.
They were long distance for multiple years

For the first four years of their relationship, Rochell and Kuchdated long distance— initially when they attended separate colleges and later when Rochell wasdrafted to the Chargers.
“We had literally started dating when we were 19. You change so much from 19 to now I’m 28,” she said. “Taking a break set us up for success because we didn’t talk the entire time. So we broke up, but we had a trip to Bali planned.”
Rochell added, “We went to Bali as a broken up couple.”
As for how the trip went after spending four to five months not talking, Kuch said, “It went okay. I think we realized that when we were in Bali, we were like ‘We need to date like normal people’ because at that point, we had been long distance our entire relationship. We didn’t know how to date casually.”
Rochell said they didn’t start dating immediately after coming back from the trip. However, unbeknownst to him, after the trip, Kuch traveled to Los Angeles for a job interview, which she eventually got.
They have lived all over the United States

After living temporarily in Indianapolis and Las Vegas, Rochell and Kuch lived in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 2020, whilethey renovated a home, which isnow one of their Airbnbrental properties. In July 2022, the couple alsobought a house in California. However, while the house underwent renovations, they bought another house in Texas to have as a “home base" in case Rochell’s career pivoted.
