When speaking with Rolling Out, Marques Houston and Miya Dickey shared that they met through a mutual friend at a Jehovah's Witnesses convention. They also gave further information on their relationship and their ages, which had both been a topic of discussion since their engagement. "We definitely didn't date until I was 18, and when I was 19, we got engaged," Dickey said. "The internet has my birthday totally wrong. My date of birth is Oct. 7, 2000. For the record, I am currently 20 years old." Houston, on the other hand, turned 40 in August (via wealthypersons.com).

And on December 2, the couple had their first child together. They had not shared with the world that they were expecting, but they do, indeed, now have a daughter named Zara.

"Miya chose the name Zara because she just felt like it was exotic," Houston told Us Weekly. "She just wanted our girl to have a memorable name that wasn't the average name. It still feels surreal, like, it hasn't set in yet that we are actually not just babysitting one of our friends' kids. But not getting any sleep definitely reminds us that we are now parents."
