“If you’re reading this and you are being hidden by your partner, know that you are strong enough, worthy enough, and deserve to be celebrated. Thank you all for staying by my side while I shared my true self. You are the ones I came out to. I’m so happy I did. #NationalComingOutDay.”
Although it is not clear how Lyssa and Leiana Evensen met, they started dating in February 2016.
Leiana is a fitness instructor and adventure lover born in Kāneʻohe, Hawaii. She shares the same birthday date with Lyssa: June 10, 1987.
The couple got engaged in December 2017 during a trip to Seattle, where Leiana popped the question to Lyssa.
“On our Seattle trip this beauty beat me to the punch and asked me to marry her,” Lyssa wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m still in shock. Wondering how I caught the heart of such an amazing soul. Forever won’t be long enough baby. #TwoWivesClub #SoonToBe #LGBTQ.”
Leiana gets along wonderfully with Lyssa’s daughters. They recently made a cruise trip around the Caribbean, and have also celebrated Halloween and Christmas like a united family.
Although Lyssa and Leiana have been engaged for almost a year and a half, sources close to the pair say they are still planning their wedding.
However, their plans must have been paused last June, when Lyssa’s stepmother Beth Chapman passed away after a long battle with cancer.
In a heart-melting post that Lyssa wrote for Leiana, she thanked her for being her support and putting up with her through the past years.
“2019 has been a hectic year so far, and I don’t know how I would have gotten through it all without your support,” Lyssa wrote. “You make me a better person and mother, and I love you and our blended family more than you could ever know.”
“You have shown me a new way of life I never knew was possible. I hope to spend the rest of my life growing and building our legacy together. Thank you, baby, for all that you do for us.”
Congratulations to Lyssa and Leiane on finding love, we can’t wait for their wedding day to come.
