What began as a tale of admiration (written in 140 characters or less) and unrequited love from afar has found its fairytale ending with a couple in love after one fangirl's persistence. One fangirl tweeted former Disney Channel star Jake T. Austin consistently starting in 2009 and the pair are now dating giving the term "fan love" a whole new meaning.
Austin is best known for co-starring in Wizards of Waverly Place as "Max Russo" playing younger brother to Selena Gomez. The 21-year-old actor is all grown up, transitioning to a more mature role in The Fosters, and falling in love on the internet. The Daily Mailreports Austin is dating a 22-year-old New Yorker named Danielle Caesar who's been publicly professing her love for Austin since 2009. News of the romance broke when Austin posted a picture of him and Caesar with a caption reading "I'm crazy for her." Caesar also posted the photo on her Instagram, which she has now made private along with her Twitter—a consequence of unexpected fame—writing: "Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite." The Daily Mail reported about Caesar's unearthed old tweets at Austin via Capital FM finding their first ever interaction, all pictured below.
Meet him she did in her native New York at Planet Hollywood back in 2011. See the couple's first photo together below:
Caesar, besides giving hope to fangirls everywhere, has showcased how online dating can turn out well and not creepy (even if it started that way) vs. that whole James Franco slides into the DM's of a 17-year-old on Instagram. Ah, young love.
