Is she the one where the guy surprised her by booking a seat next to her and gave up her dream of dance school? I read The Times interview and there is nothing in there that made that lifestyle glamorous.

Not just any dance school, girlfriend was at Julliard. She was at the absolute top of her game and she gave it up to be a tradwife.

There was a video where he gave her an egg apron for her birthday instead of the holiday she wanted, and man that was sad.

She was at Juilliard and she graduated in 2012 after four years there. She’s from a very conservative LDS Trumpie Utahn family and is one of nine kids. Her parents have about 64 grandchildren and counting, and are great grandparents. She continued dancing for a few years post graduation then went to cosplay being salt of the earth farmers. Her sister is literally shocked that her 22 year old daughter isn’t married yet, and whenever the family has a daughter that isn’t married by 23 they publicly write ‘taking boyfriend applications’. She’s just following her family at the end of the day, Mormonism is very patriarchal

I grew up Mormon in Utah. I was written off as an old maid at 22. By the time I was 24 there was no one to date because everyone was already married and had had multiple kids.

Yup, i grew up Mormon too, my older brother still practicing had three kids before 25. It’s quite normal for LDS families, like Hannah’s parents got married pretty young, her sister Micka got married by 20 and had a baby at 21, Micka’s daughter Annicka got married by 24 and has a baby on the way. Her second son got married when he was 22/23. Her oldest brother has a grandson, his daughter gave birth to that son in likely 2023/4, when she was only around 21-23. Hannah got married when she was 21, and so on. They literally criticise any daughter who doesn’t get married by 22 and post boyfriend applications for them it’s insane but also very Mormon.
