The first whispers of Josh Kelly and Chloe Lanier’s relationship began when they appeared together at Coastal Entertainment’s “Men of General Hospital” event in New York City.

The couple even posed for pictures together with their fans, cementing their relationship in front of the public eye. A couple that jokes together, stays together!
