How did Sydney Lotuaco and her husband Nick Wehby meet?

Lotuaco and her husband Wehby’s love story began amidst the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Their unique connection traces back to Wehby’s initial admiration for Sydney during her time on The Bachelor.

During an interview with People, Lotuaco reflected, “Nick had watched me on The Bachelor and for whatever reason took a liking to me.”

Furthermore, she also revealed they started talking back and forth through Instagram, then progressed to texting, and eventually led to FaceTime for 3 months before they had the chance to meet in person. 

In August 2020, the couple finally had their first face-to-face encounter, and Lotuaco made a bold decision to move in with Nick “on a whim” shortly after the meeting.

Lotuaco expressed the profound connection they developed, stating, “I got to really know him as a person on so many levels. It was almost like the Bachelor bubble except without cameras and the other suitors.”

The pair got engaged in December 2021 when he proposed during what was initially intended as a holiday photo shoot. Notably, before her journey on The Bachelor, Lotuaco had never experienced having a boyfriend.
