She met her husband through her sister Liz, who has since passed away. At the time, her husband was already in the U.S., and they began communicating online until she moved there in 2018. They started talking while she was still in school.

Jalia Walda was drawn to her husband because of the care he showed for his son, Alex, whom he had from a previous relationship. Additionally, she sought a financially stable man who was not Muslim.

She chooses to keep her husband's identity private due to his work and enjoys the curiosity this generates.
