How Did They Start Their Relationship?
As we said before, Tyler was the one chasing Katya. And the two started their relationship thanks to Twitter. For the two, it all started with three simple letters, W-Y-D.
The Miami Heat star sent out a not-so-innocent tweet on March 20, asking a leading question at the Instagram model.
And she replied quickly. After Tyler made the move, the two probably started chatting in private messages.
Truth be told, for most mere mortals, trying to hit up a gorgeous Instagram model with a single tweet would be a wasted time. But not all of you are young NBA players with a prosperous career.
