Saskia

And he would always bring me something from his trips, like a bracelet or a little trinket.

But there was one final test their relationship had to pass.

Introducing their kids...

At the time, Mike's daughters were 11 and seven.

Saskia's daughter was five and her son was three.

They set aside a whole Saturday for the kids to finally meet.

We met at Dave and Buster's in the mall.

I brought my kids.

He brought his kids.

And his daughter grabbed my daughter's hand and they were walking around together and just so excited to show each other their favorite games.

And we had them pick out prizes at the end.

And that was our first meeting.

And they basically were best friends after that.

from that point on they began hanging out more and more all six of them shortly after that we were at my apartment and we had a power outage no electricity and didn't know when we were gonna get electricity turned on so we all made a trip to mike's apartment and so we had a little like family bonding there and it was really cute we had to like

figure out who's going to sleep where in this little two-bedroom apartment.

It turned into a really fun time.

Mike's daughters started to feel like her own.

As co-parents, Mike and Saskia made a good team.

They balanced each other out.

He was kind of more the organized, practical one.
