Soap Opera Digest: Kayla, when we first spoke with Tanner for his feature in 2020, he told us how you met on the set of a music video, and it involved a pair of missing sunglasses. Let’s hear your side of the story now.
Kayla Ewell: I wish I still had those sunglasses because if we did, we would frame them because that’s the reason we’re together. Tanner and I were both shooting a music video for an Australian band called Sick Puppies, and we had both left our sunglasses with the makeup artist. He texted me after the shoot and said, “Hey, I can pick up your sunglasses and bring them to you,” and I thought. “What a gentleman. This nice Canadian man is picking up my sunglasses for me. I’m so grateful.”
Tanner Novlan: Little did she know I was holding them ransom.
Ewell (laughs): So, he used them as a way to see me again, which is really kind of romantic. I feel like it’s something you’d write in a Hallmark movie — or a soap opera! So, we met for lunch and I had butterflies in my stomach but I said yes. It was probably a two-hour lunch. I got in my car and I’m driving home and I’m thinking, “What an incredible day,” and I stopped at the red light and I realized I never got my sunglasses. He never gave them to me.
Novlan: I honestly forgot that time. It was my fault. I just forgot.
