James, a firefighter from Texas, was skeptical about online dating—until he met Isadora. Her warmth, intelligence, and laughter made him fall fast. They connected over shared values, talked about their love for family, and bonded over cooking traditional Brazilian and Southern dishes together—virtually at first. After visiting Rio to see her, James knew she was the one. Today, they’re navigating life together between two countries and building a future full of love, culture, and commitment.
