‘It feels like home’: Inside Dani’s new relationship with Henry after Love on the Spectrum
They recently passed a major milestone
Dani and her boyfriend Henry met shortly after Love on the Spectrum, and will be celebrating their one year anniversary in October.
She revealed all about her new boyfriend in an interview with Tudum, saying: “Like a perfectly timed plot twist in one of my own animated stories, someone completely unexpected walked into my life.”
Dani explained she met Henry at the Huntington Park Police Department when her company, DaniMation, received a donation for autism awareness.
As luck would have it, Henry was the one who handed her the check, and though she felt an instant spark, she still felt as though her split from Adan was too fresh to consider dating.
Over the next month, she and Henry stayed in constant communication, and he eventually asked her out on a date, and the rest is history!
The pair have admitted to ‘challenging’ aspects in their relationship
During a TikTok Q&A with the Love on the Spectrum icon, Dani was asked: “What has been the most challenging thing in your relationship”
Dani responded: “Well, two things. First it was our expertise because he works in the police department and I have an animation company, but we figure out our schedule, our very busy schedule.
“And also, not only is it our schedule but also our interests and animation, we meet somewhere in the middle.
Henry then added: “It would have to be the perception people got because I’m neurotypical and because of my profession, so when our relationship came out there was a lot of people that frowned upon it because of those things, but people don’t really know Dani, they know her from the show but not in real life.
“She’s a completely different person. And then second to touch on that is the scheduling, so I work a lot, she works a lot, but we may it work. I have to take a day off here and there to help her with her keynotes but it’s just the sleep and the scheduling.
Henry was also asked whether it was “difficult” watching Dani dating others during Love on the Spectrum.
He responded: “Yes and no. So, I had seen season one and two, and when I met Dani, she had finished filming season three and it had been a couple months since she had filmed.
“However, I did not know what was going to be on season three, so I’ll let Sandy [Dani’s aunt] tell the rest.”
Dani’s aunt continued, saying: “So, yeah we were on a plane when the season three trailer first came out and I showed it to Henry, and all I remember is his face turning white, he was pretty taken aback for it. But he’s fine, he just felt strange seeing her kissing Adan.”
The pair recently had a romantic trip to Paris and Ireland
Henry really swept Dani off her feet after Love on the Spectrum and the pair frequently go away on romantic trips.
Most recently the two visited Ireland and Paris, with Dani writing: “For the first time love isn’t painful, it doesn’t hurt! I must be dreaming. I feel like an angel in white sheets.
“He treats me right, he protects me. He’s my one and only, it feels like home. This is what love looks like on me.”
And Dani seemed to make a pretty personal announcement about their relationship…
One topic that came out during Love on the Spectrum was Dani wanting a bit more in the bedroom department with Adan.
Since Love on the Spectrum finished, people have been unabashedly asking Dani whether she’s gone the extra mile with Henry.
She previously responded: “We are getting to know each other RN. We both want the same thing, but we both know that getting to know each other first is important!
“We are just enjoying each other’s company, having lots of fun exploring each other while waiting.”
However, it seems that they’ve progressed things together, as Dani wrote in one of her captions: “No one has ever touched me… not like you. I waited because I wanted it to be more than just a moment.
“I wanted it to be love. With you, it wasn’t scary, it was safe… it was real. Love is definitely worth waiting for.” Love that for her.
