In an Instagram post, the Real for Real Cuisine founder shared a photo of herself and John cuddled together at a Newport Beach restaurant, practically oozing heart-eyed emoji.  "One year ago, the first date [at Fable & Spirit]," Shannon wrote. "One year later, celebrating at the same place."

The gushing is mutual, mind you. On Shannon's birthday back in March, her beau wrote her the sweetest letter. "I have never in my life spent so much concentrated time with anyone," he wrote. "I never tire of you, but rather thrive in your company. Our connection and chemistry are what people dream about. You are my person; the one I was meant to be with, the one that makes me feel whole."
