For Steven McBee and Calah Jackson, "Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer" was a life-changing experience. They got introduced to the world, and they ultimately found their soulmates. However, in our interview with the happy couple, they revealed that they didn't instantly know they were right for each other.
"I definitely was a little bit more guarded than the other girls in a sense that I was just not as assertive as them," Calah explained. "We're in a dating show, and it's such an unreal experience, so I didn't really know how to go about it."
She continued: "I knew pretty early on that Steven and I hit it off," though she admitted that she was "into Kurt [Sowers] as well."
"It took me a while to really open up to any feelings," Steven revealed. Still, even though he felt something for Calah in the beginning, he had to keep his options open, he said. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he didn't want to mess it up.
"You don't have a lot of time, so it's not like you can spend all of your time with one person because everyone else would be left aside," he said. "You'd never have time to know who they were."
Still, as the season progressed, Calah and Steven realized they were right for each other. "We hit it off throughout the entire show, knew we had a great connection," he said. "It's really built over time."
