In her Instagram post, Megan revealed that they met each other during an event in 2010 (7 years ago estimated based on her Instagram post date). She was the one hosting the event, and Mikael Daez is one of the models.
The actress told that the venue is cold and she was feeling a bit down. Fortunately, the actor lends her his jacket. As a result, according to Megan, that small gesture has left a lasting impression on her. As the usual saying goes, the rest is history.
