Two single parents in Birmingham, Alabama, who had no interest in dating found love anyway, according to a StoryCorps segment that aired Friday, October 23, 2026, on NPR.
The couple's story, presented through the StoryCorps oral history project, describes how two people who were not looking for a relationship ended up falling in love. The segment was broadcast on NPR's National desk at 4:41 a.m. ET on Friday, October 23, 2026.
