Meyers and his wife Elle met because of his brother. They first came across one another when he hosted her brother, Max Bielfeldt, before joining the University of Illinois.
But it wasn't until two months later that they met again, this time at her best friend's birthday. This was, according to Elle, the first time he noticed her properly. Meyers just saw her from across the bar and thought she was beautiful.
He was too shy to ask for her number himself, though. Instead, he asked his teammates to get him her number.
She refused to give them her number, but he eventually got a hold of that through a mutual friend. Then the talking began.
After a failed attempt at spending time at the college dining hall, she said to him, "If you want to spend time with me, let's go shoot."
And so they did. She was out of practice and missed shooting around; he was hyped by the proposal.
They ended up playing half-court together for almost four hours, and he realized she was "ultra-competitive," as he would put it during an interview with Five Reasons Sports Network in December 2019.
Meyers also did not know that she was a 1,000-point scorer in high school. They both did great against one another, but Elle surprised him in one game.
While playing Around the World, he went first and scored 22 out of 25 mid-range jump shots.
Unbeknownst to him, mid-range was Elle's bread-and-butter, and she scored 23 out of 25 she took.
Meyers recalled thinking, "What did I just see myself into?" after that game. But they didn't just play.
After a couple of hours, they sat around and talked long into the night, well past midnight. "We've always bonded over going to the court and just hanging out and talking," Elle said during her interview with Forbes in 2020.
