Not that love struck like a thunderbolt: The two didn’t date in school and lost touch after graduating. But at a Cincinnati Reds game in April 2001, they reunited, rekindling a friendship and sparking something more. The next day Jennifer and Chris took in dinner and another Reds game and they've been together ever since.
