In a past interview, Maya spoke warmly about dating someone she considers a close friend, emphasizing the importance of genuine connection.
"It's awesome. I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends. It's the best. They know you, and as a human being who has dated other people," she said. "They really know you as a person who has feelings … not just a piece of paper for them to project their image of perfect girlfriend onto." This heartfelt sentiment underscores the deep bond that led to their marriage, making their Valentine's Day wedding a fitting celebration of love and friendship.
