After splitting fromSister Wivesleading manKody Brownin 2021, the reality star, 51, began trying to meet a new partner online. She connected with Woolley throughStir, a dating site for single parents, and made the first move.
“I messaged him first and then he responded,” Brown tells PEOPLE. “And at one point he said he liked camping and I was like, ‘That’s not going to work for me then.’ And I threw my phone across my bed and I’m like, ‘Nah.’”
But then she decided not to let different views on camping be a dealbreaker for her.
