Jane's son, John's son, and their friend Shwayze helped jumpstart their romance.

In a December 2023 interview, Jane said, "Single, I went out with a couple of girlfriends and listened to a band play, locally in Malibu. He saw me with a couple of ladies, and thought, 'Why isn't she with a man.' He contacted his son ... He called the mutual friend of my friend Shawn, who is a rapper called Shwayze, and Shwayze said, 'Oh no, I'll find out.' He came back and said, 'Oh no, she's single.' And that was it."

As Jane fondly recalls, it was the shared passion for music and John's genuine and warm personality that drew her to him, which ignited a spark that would ultimately blossom into a beautiful love story.
