<strong>Jet setting together: </strong>Solberg is half-French, half-American and grew up in Germany, so he's always traveled a lot. Burton's job as a dancer takes her across the world, from stints performing on cruise ships to tours across the US and beyond.

<strong>Future flights:</strong> Right now the two are looking forward to their future adventures together. Whenever they travel together, they reflect on their relationship's beginnings. "We always reminisce about how we met at some point during our flight and where we were then vs where we are now; it's wild to think about sometimes," say Burton.
