~Late 2019
Maddie and Eddie started as friends, but as she later recounted in her 2022 Cosmo cover interview, things turned romantic after they each exited previous relationships.
"We were sitting on a couch together late at night. We’d been best friends for a while and both broken up with other people; a little bit of time had passed. We were just talking and he was like, “Yeah, me and you just have so much love for each other, it gets confusing.” I was like, “Yeah, it totally does.” And then we both just looked at each other and I was like, “Oh,”" Maddie said. "I remember covering my face with a pillow for 20 minutes. I couldn’t look at him. I was like, “This is so embarrassing because we literally just admitted that we love each other!” But we’re kids. Me and Eddie are still kids. We’re figuring it out and we’re just letting it happen."

Maddie opened up about how she and Eddie met during the interview, saying she slid into his DMs. “It was so random.

It was so quick, and we were friends for over a year before we got together.”

Maddie opens up about Eddie to Entertainment Tonight, saying, "I feel very excited every day that I get to date him. We have such a good time together and we were best friends for a really long time before we dated. It's like I'm just hanging out with my best friend every day. It's really fun. It's honestly the best. I love it. I always was like, 'Oh, I'll never date someone that's in the industry,' just because it's intense, but we inspire each other. He definitely inspires me every day, and he says that about me, which I'm like, 'Hopefully.' We feed off of each other so much. I think it's so cool that we push each other every day. It's cool that we can give each other advice. He's just been so supportive."

Maddie has spent time on tour with Eddie while he opens for Justin Bieber, and in her 2022 Cosmo cover interview, she talks about how she and Eddie learn from Justin and his wife Hailey Bieber.
"They’ve been so nice to Eddie and me. We look up to them as a couple—they’re so amazing and so in love. It’s really refreshing to see that they have that love but that things can be up and down. It’s cool that they talk about it publicly. It’s not relatable to never have a problem," she said. Maddie also added, "I really, really respect Hailey for the video she made telling people to leave her alone. She is such a nice person and so intelligent and so sweet and beautiful. Sometimes when you respond to things, it adds to the fire, so it’s scary doing that."
Maddie mentions that when Eddie's not on tour and she's not filming, they have a few unusual joint hobbies. "He is so good at getting me out of scary moments where I’m just in a rut or I feel anxious or I’d had a little panic attack. We wrestle all the time, not in an aggressive way. But we love UFC, literally love UFC so much," she said. "We’ve gone to see Conor McGregor fight many times in person. It’s so out of my element—it’s so violent. I don’t know why I like it. Or we’ll play soccer. I can’t even play, but it’s just fun to do things that have no pressure or expectation attached to them."
And that about brings us up to date! If you’re obsessed with these young lovebirds, we’ll continue to keep you posted on all the cute stuff they do.
