The happy couple reportedly spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together before ringing in the new year by sharing their romance with the world. However, they were first linked in August 2022 when they were spotted on a vacation together in Hawaii.
Speaking to People in June, Chilli opened up about her romance with Lawrence, saying, "I never thought the name Matthew would make me blush so much." Though she admitted she wasn't a "Boy Meets World" fan, she added, "I always thought he was cute."
"To this day we have not had one argument," she said of their relationship. "I'm like 'Matthew, it's gonna happen one day, cause we're going to be together forever.'"
Chilli is based in Atlanta, while Lawrence lives in Los Angeles. Of navigating their long-distance relationship, Chilli said, "We know how to communicate very well with each other. And I didn't want a relationship that I had to work so hard in."
