Leslie and Asamoah met at a karaoke bar in Los Angeles after they were introduced by a mutual friend who knew they were both “ready for something serious.” Asamoah popped the question in May 2025 with an “intimate, thoughtful, and perfect” proposal at a winery in Napa Valley.

The two view marriage as “building a lasting legacy together” and are excited to “experience new cultures, foods, and adventures by traveling the world together. They also hope to start a family of their own. “The next chapter looks like us continuing to grow together, traveling the world, and building a life that balances love, family, and purpose,” Leslie revealed.

Now that they’re married, their adventure will begin with their honeymoon. “We’ll start in Cape Town for four days, immersing ourselves in the culture, art, music, and incredible food,” Leslie explained. “Then we’ll head to Franschhoek, South Africa’s wine country, where we’ll stay on a working winery and enjoy curated tastings and the beauty of the vineyards. From there, we’ll travel to Kruger National Park for a three-day safari, going on game drives and spotting some of the world’s most incredible wildlife, including the Big Five. We’ll end our honeymoon in Mauritius, relaxing oceanside at a beautiful resort for the final leg of our trip.”
