^ I was speculating on them talking before the Virgin Road PV filming.
The article confirmed that Ayu saw his audition video and picked him herself, but I'm guessing that they did talk for a while before meeting in Los Angeles.
So far the only things that have been confirmed are Mannie's audition video, Ayu choosing him herself to act in the PV, both of them meeting in person for the first time during the Virgin Road PV shoot, both of them dating at night while in LA back in November, Ayu talking to Avex in December about getting married, Ayu's not pregnant and will continue working, no wedding date yet, and that both of them will be traveling back and forth to Los Angeles and Tokyo. Everything else in my last post was just my guesses on how all of this happened.
