But Tim’s interesting choice for a first date could have derailed the relationship from the beginning!

The Minnesota governor first met his wife while teaching at the same school.

After connecting on a deeper level, the two agreed to go out on a date.

Tim chose a movie date, but it was the choice of movie that was a little off-putting.

Certainly not the most romantic of films.

“What an insane first-date movie,” one usercommentedon X, formerly known as Twitter.

Tim taught social studies while Gwen taught English.

However, after their first date, Gwen quickly declined a kiss from the future Minnesota governor.

And that he did.

He added, “They’re both passionate, skilled, you know, bright people.

And neither one is a shrinking violet.”

Even Gwen admits that the two are incredible partners not only in policy and advocacy but in life overall.

“We thought, gosh, we really have complementary things about our styles that work well together.”

That strong partnership is going to continue to come in handy throughout this very public and tough presidential campaign!
