Glaze — who split from his short-lived fiancée Jackie Bonds— first introduced Barnes on After the Altar in September 2023.

The two shared their first-anniversary milestone last July. “One year of laughing, crying, adjusting, communicating, healing…” they wrote. “Our journey to where we are today is a testament of resilience and unconditional love for one another. Cheers to Year One and cheers to many more.”
