She recounted, "I departed for Switzerland, and he messaged me. He asked, 'Where are you headed?' I replied, 'Switzerland. I feel a bit tired.' He then sent, 'Alright sweetheart, catch some rest.' However, I felt annoyed when he added three Ys to 'sweetheart' since we aren't close enough for that kind of familiarity."

Despite this, they kept communication alive, and Cher mentioned that he began sending her text messages while she was on a trip to Switzerland. She also found it ironic that she ended up falling in love with her boyfriend, considering the relationship advice she had given her friends before.
