“We would all do these game shows and things together so we did a show called Body Language and while we were filming - and we knew each other before then - I had an appearance actually to perform 'Dear Michael' and the other song at the Tropicana,” Fields said.

She added, “There was this kind of chemistry, this vibe and so I invited him to come and watch me perform and he did.”

“Before I went on stage we were backstage and had this sweet teen kiss,” Fields revealed. “And then it was like that happened and then we just went on with our lives and our careers.”
