1990s: Will Witherspoon and Tori Darling meet in high school.
Tori said she and William went to high school together. She was on the dance team and graduated in 1997, while William was on the football team and graduated in 1998.

Around this time, both Will and Tori were divorced from their previous respective marriages. Will then reached out to her, and the two began a flirtatious friendship via messages.
Part 1 of a 40 part series. Finally telling my story of the horrific and traumatizing relationship I had with an NFL player. I have endured severe DARVO, gaslighting, emotional abuse, mental abuse and extreme financial abuse which is still ocurring to this day. This story is a wild ride that I hope will help others who are stuck in similiar relationships with narcissists. I'm also hoping for change within the NFL and how they handle their former players' issues. #dvsurvivor #nfl #narcissisticrelationship #narcissisticabuserecovery #domesticabuseawareness #survivor #nfltiktok
Summer 2013: Will Witherspoon and Tori Darling meet up in person as friends.
Meeting in person for the first time since they were teens, Will and Tori hung out together with some other friends from high school. Tori says they kissed, but nothing else happened. She assured him she wasn't a "hookup girl."
April 2014: Will Witherspoon and Tori Darling go out on their first date.
The day after their first date, they hung out with a friend of Will's who was like a mother figure in his life. That friend said to Tori, "I've never seen him like this with anyone else." Tori says Will acted like a gentleman as their long-distance relationship kicked off. (She was in Florida, he was in St. Louis.)

Summer 2014: Tori Darling first learns that Will Witherspoon cheated on her.
Tori learned via some pictures on Facebook that Will had previously cheated while he was visiting France. Tori was ready to call it quits, but she says his friends rallied around Tori and tried to get them back together, claiming the other woman was the problem, not Will. Tori reconciled with Will, and his grand gestures throughout the year and into the following year had her thinking things were smooth sailing.
Around June 2015: Tori Darling and Will Witherspoon find out they're expecting a baby.
Tori says that Will promised her marriage was around the corner, so they tried for a baby around April–May 2024, and were soon delighted to find out that Tori was expecting. They tried to get the legal issues sorted with her trying to move her kids to St. Louis, and by December, Will was being listed as a "fiance" in court docs. Tori finished nursing school during this time period too.
