Season 1
CC
Academy Award winner Viola Davis was just a woman navigating single life in Los Angeles when her now-husband, Julius Tennon, walked into her life.

After overhearing Viola confide in a friend about how hard it was for her to meet people, Julius introduced himself to Viola, and the rest is history.

Here, Viola shares how a thoughtful—and persistent—Julius went out of his way to win her over on their first date.
