He wasn't someone that wanted to control me, but wanted what was best for me and the family. He was my biggest cheerleader and that was it for me. I knew he was the man I wanted to be with and the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. When I moved to Atlanta, I expressed that for the long-term, I want marriage. So when we were able to bond with each other's children, that made me more certain about him. Since my children's father, I never took anyone seriously. Even our moms were similar in many ways that I just said, 'I got it, I am listening.' I knew that this was the person for me. Whether it was our conversation and just our similarities, I felt my mom sent me an angel. So when I met him, I was grieving her and I felt all the signs of her were coming through him. So the chemistry between us was built."īriana: "When my mom passed away, I was going through it. We talked for hours into days without seeing each other face to face. When she mentioned her mom recently passed, that was definitely something that made me take the wall down and open up to her more. I don't think I ever met anyone else who lost their mom too. After she gave me her number, I contacted her and just went from there. When I saw her message and looked at her photos, I thought she was very beautiful. Robert: "Yeah, that's the gist of how we met. He shared that his mother passed away from cancer too. While we were talking, we got to the topic of my mom passing away recently. But it led to asking questions to get to know more about me and after I realized what he was doing, I figured to just see where this was going to go. When he called me, I thought we were going to talk about how much the shoot was going to cost and stuff. He responded and asked me for my number and till this day, I still haven't gotten that promo (laughs). At the time, I was a model and I reached out to him for a promotion opportunity.
Here's what they had to share.īriana: "I reached out to him via Facebook. While they met one another and bonded over the feeling of grief, they were each other's light to get out of a familiar dark tunnel. After months of talking, the couple knew immediately that they wanted to take things to the next level. The way Briana and Robert could relate to each other would be how they took a chance on love. For Briana and Robert, it was the ability to connect on an experience that is one of the hardest realities to have to endure. The couple was able to sit down with xoNecole and share more on how their initial connection has kept them married after all these years. Now after four years of marriage, both Briana and Robert are enjoying life to the fullest. One day, when Briana sent a Facebook message to her now-husband Robert Hampton, aka Latruth, about a possible career opportunity, she did not expect her life to take a turn for the better. After losing her mother to cancer in 2015, Briana navigated through her grief by trying her best with keeping herself busy in her career as a model. That was the case for Briana Hampton, who is an entrepreneur/author based out of Atlanta, Georgia. But it is within grief that we try to find the joy in order to keep moving forward. Grief is something we all experience and it is something that stays with us forever.
