In February 2022, Mecole shared a cute photo of the two of them together, calling Chariah his “ride or die.” In August of that year, Chariah shared a ton of photos of herself and Mecole on her Instagram with a loving message for him. “I truly adore & appreciate the man you are & becoming. I never knew what true love was until I met you,” she wrote. “Thank you for loving me through everything & allowing me to be me. You genuinely make me happy & i’m glad to be your partner.”
