How did Christel Khalil met Sam Restagno?
Christel made her and Sam’s relationship Instagram official in 2018. But in reality, they had already been dating for a couple of years by then. Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in 2020, the actress revealed that she had met her boyfriend at 2016’s Coachella.
“We kind of hit it off right away. He’s Canadian, so he was really nice,” she told. But Sam being Canadian wasn’t the only thing she was attracted to. “Another big one for me was that he wasn’t in the same industry. I felt that was all I was around. It was just a different conversation with Sam,” she continued. “There were a lot of other great things about him. We went out on our first date two weeks later and had so much fun together. About six months later, I knew he was the one.”
After going public with their relationship, she also relocated to Toronto, his hometown, with Michael. Then in June of 2020, all of them moved to L.A. They were living in Khalil’s North Hollywood home since then. But in March this year, the family moved to their new home in Malibu.
Well, that’s just the beginning of their beautiful journey. We believe more adventures are in store for this lovely couple. Join us in the comments below as we congratulate them on their engagement. And make sure to keep tuning in to us for more updates.
