In a candid interview, Hanna revealed the cheeky direct message she sent to Keegan that marked the initiation of their love story. “I sent him a picture with a drink in my hands. I was like, ‘The wind took me here,’” she recalled, keeping the mood light as she reflected on the beginning of their connection.
Support from family is crucial, and Haley, who is married to Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, played a pivotal role as Hanna’s “wing woman.” Hanna shared how her sister nudged her to follow Keegan on social media, stating, “Haley sent me his Instagram and was like, ‘Follow him.’ I was like, ‘Okay!’”
Despite the initial encouragement, Keegan’s response was less than immediate, with Cavinder humorously commenting on his slow pace. “He’s like a turtle,” she joked about his delay in responding to her advances, revealing that he took “two days to follow me back.” This prompted her playful inquiries to Haley about whether Jake had put in a good word for her.
After some anticipation, Hanna decided not to wait any longer and reached out directly to Keegan. Reflecting on her impulsive action, she said, “I finally just DMed him because I was being impatient.” It was clear that her eagerness to connect with Keegan reflected the growing fondness between them.
Although their relationship became public only recently, Hanna expressed a preference for discretion at the start. She noted, “I wanted to date him for a very long period of time before social media.” This desire was underscored by her belief that moving too quickly onto social media could complicate their budding romance. Keegan, she added, is not particularly invested in social media, making it easier for them to focus on their relationship without external pressures.
Their shared experiences and deepening bond led Hanna to ultimately announce their relationship to the world. She stated, “It was just the right time. We were boyfriend and girlfriend. So we made it official, and I’m going to be sharing my life, so I want to share a part of him because he makes me super happy.”
As twins, the Cavinder sisters have always been protective of one another’s relationships. Haley expressed her approval after meeting Keegan, saying, “Oh, he’s awesome.” She further elaborated on how Keegan influences Hanna positively, noting, “In past relationships, I would see Hanna, and I’d just be like, ‘She doesn’t seem like Hanna.’ Trevor makes Hanna her best self, so it’s so fun for her to find that.”
Haley also highlighted Keegan’s personality, stating he is “super cool” and emphasized her happiness for the couple’s evolving relationship. Their supportive dynamic not only strengthens Hanna’s bond with Keegan but also showcases the close-knit relationship she shares with her sister.
Hanna has described Keegan as her “best friend,” revealing how they have quickly formed a meaningful partnership filled with joy and shared experiences. “I feel like we’ve experienced so much in a short period of time, and we just have so much fun together and I love it,” she remarked, encapsulating her happiness and excitement.
As their relationship continues to flourish, both Hanna and Trevor are undoubtedly on a promising path together, with the endorsement of family and friends paving the way for a shared future in the spotlight as well as the personal joy they have found in one another.
