1
On a January 2022 episode of Nicole Byer's "Why Won't You Date Me" podcast, Jacobson revealed that she and Balfour met on the dating app Raya. Byer often rags on the app on her podcast, so Jacobson added, "I actually really don't like it either, but I have to like it I guess now." Jacobson said that during the pandemic the app felt like "the only way I'll ever interact with anyone ever again," but that she was on Raya before the pandemic, too. She said that she and Balfour had a "mutual friend," too, which helped them connect.
