Sarah Drew began her acting career in 2000.
Drew and Lanfer’s relationship began when they met as camp counselors.
After these jobs concluded, they continued to keep in touch.

During an eight-month separation, they talked on the phone and emailed each other.
By August 1999, Lanfer made arrangements to visit Drew so they could finally reconnect in person.
The couple went to New York City to see the Off-Broadway play “Wit” on their first date.

Later, Lanfer had something even bigger in mind asking Drew to marry him.
“He’s like, ‘Okay, this is not about creating a perfect moment.
This is just about me telling you that I love you,'” Drew recalled to Us Weekly.

“He listens with such care and offers such wisdom.”
At the time, Drew opted to learn the baby’s sex at birth rather than months earlier.
In 2020, amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, Drew leaned on Lanfer for support.
When she struggled with anxiety, he stepped in and went to the store for their family.
Drew and Lanfer also found solace by playing music together.
“You are a constant source of peace, love, compassion, empathy, and patience.
