According to WJCL, the firefighters were high school sweethearts but had since broken up.

Last month, Anderson confronted Kuhbander while he was on a date, leading to a confrontation in which Anderson keyed Kuhbander’s car, WJCL reported. She was charged with criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct.
