How Did Mikayla Nogueira Meet Cody While He Was Leaving Rehab?

Mikayla Nogueira says she and Cody met right as her career began, at massive turning points for both of them, which is why they connected immediately. She was blowing up, had just moved out of her parents' house into a first apartment, and was trying to turn influencing into a job. Fast growth, COVID, and a new world left her longing for companionship. She says she did not want to go through it alone.

Cody had just moved across the country to go to rehab in Massachusetts. She says Cody is an addict. She met him on Tinder as he was coming out of rehab and moving into a sober house with other sober people. He wanted someone to share a new sobriety with. His story of getting sober and moving across the country inspired her, because it reminded her of taking a risk and changing a life. She says the relationship exploded from the start.
