This sounds like the plot of a really cheesy but highly enjoyable straight to TV Disney movie.
You may or may not be familiar with Jake T. Austin. He’s a Nickelodeon star, a little handsome fellow with a giant social media presence. He starred in The Wizards of Waverly Place opposite Selena Gomez.
Anyway, the internet is full of cray determined young girls who often reach out to confess their love for their favourite stars.
One such fangirl was Danielle Caesar, who for 5 years tweeted Jake with messages like “you’re amazing” and “your smile is so cute”. Standard flirtatious banter.
She also tweeted other messages like “Me & @Jaketaustin are getting married. He just doesn’t know it yet” and “I’m gonna def try & meet you this summer!”.
Well, Daniella did meet Jake and they fell in love.
The star confirmed the romance with this image on Instagram.
Naturally the fangirl community has lost their shit.

Thank you, Jake, for giving young women everywhere a buttload of false hope.
He confirmed reports saying:
“We’re young and having fun just getting to know each other. It doesn’t matter how you meet someone – on set, in a coffee shop, at school, or in the business.”
He added: “Sometimes you connect with people at the right moment and you just click.”
