Plot twist: Alex Hall and Ian Young\u2019s romance didn\u2019t begin in a swanky bar or with a dramatic reality TV meet-cute, it started because Alex\u2019s mum once dated Ian\u2019s dad.<\/p>\n

Yes, really.<\/p>\n

What looks like a glossy Selling The OC<\/a> storyline actually has a tangled, surprisingly domestic origin story that Alex has since confirmed on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The whole backstory kinda explains why their relationship felt both intimate and awkwardly familiar to those paying attention.<\/p>\n

Alex and Ian go way back<\/h2>\n
