"Our first date—well, what I thought was our first date—was freshman year after orientation," Adam said, according to AL.com.
Nick Saban’s daughter confessed that she was nervous to meet him.
"I consider the first date to be when he took me to Five in Tuscaloosa about a month before we decided to be a couple," Kristen said. "It felt more like a first date - lots of nerves, I changed my outfit probably 10 times before he picked me up, I called my mom and sister-in-law to keep me calm ... I was super nervous! But it was because I knew I really liked him."
This shows that the two kept in touch since they were children but didn’t reconnect until they attended the University of Alabama together.
