The couple first met in August 2022 when Williams went out to celebrate a friend’s birthday. She says Johnson, 27, made the first move by talking to her – and made sure to reveal her details on social media.

“Cierra asked me if I was okay because I didn’t look like I was enjoying myself. I assured her I was fine and she asked me a few more times before finally asking for my Instagram,” Williams recalls.

While she admits to her “fear of commitment,” Williams says Johnson continues to prove “she’s the one” to her in both big and small ways.

She recounts how Johnson was a source of support and comfort when she experienced a medical scare during a trip to Mexico together.

“Cierra was so calm, nonchalant and efficient in handling me and the situation without me having to ask her to do anything,” he remembers. “She took care of my mental and physical health with such care that I couldn’t even take her into account not be the one.”

During season 15 MAFS, Williams was paired with Justin Hall and the two tied the knot after meeting at the altar for the first time. On Decision Day, they decided to continue their marriage, but divorced not long after.

After the Decision Day episode aired, Williams opened up to PEOPLE about how she felt before she made her decision on the show.

“On the morning of Decision Day, I was filled with confusion and an overwhelming feeling that I was going to make the ‘wrong’ decision,” she said. “Despite these feelings, I knew that my discomfort was rather a sign of growth – so I interpreted what I was experiencing as such.”

She continued to share that her MAFS the experience was “tumultuous”, but it helped her grow and understand herself better.

“MAFS taught me a lot about myself and the underestimated intentions of others. Despite this, I will continue to grow and shine in my own right,” she told PEOPLE at the time.
