Twitter is widely recognized for its breaking news, endless rants, and sometimes questionable sports opinions. It’s a platform where one misstep can lead to being canceled, and it’s rarely seen as a hotspot for romance.
Yet, against the odds, Twitter users @TBrown_80 and @KatieKatCubs have defied expectations by finding genuine love on this very platform. Their unconventional romance began three years ago when Katie, living in Iowa, shared a post about the unhelpful dating advice she received from her married colleagues.

Terry Brown from Kentucky, who had recently started following Katie, found her tweet amusing and saw it as a chance to connect. He cheekily suggested that Twitter might be a great place for her to meet single men—a notion Katie dismissed as laughable. However, Terry didn’t back down and responded with a humorous list of even worse places for finding a date.
The interaction, initially seen as a lighthearted exchange, gained unexpected traction. Terry’s follow-up tweet about the conversation went viral, amassing over 500,000 likes. “I knew I had to post something,” Terry told Upworthy. “The original tweet celebrating our engagement got about 1,500 likes, but the meme tweet reached over 560,000 likes. It’s been surreal.”
The heartwarming story of how they found love on Twitter has intrigued many, and people are eager to learn Terry’s secret for making such an unusual connection work.
Terry advises, “Twitter is just another tool. It’s about how you use it. Engaging with someone gives you a sense of who they are. Although our interactions weren’t flirtatious, I just knew.”
He emphasizes the importance of respect and shares his personal journey, having found hope and love again after a challenging divorce. “You never know where or when you’ll meet your person,” he says.
