Zolciak and Biermann’s relationship began almost immediately after their first meeting in May 2010. The mom of six had attended the Dancing Stars of Atlanta charity event, where her RHOA co-star Shereé Whitfield was competing alongside Biermann. After watching the former NFL star’s tight end performance, Zolciak couldn’t help but comment on Biermann’s “tight backside.” The singer told her future husband straight to his face while complimenting his performance after the competition.
Following their brief chat, Biermann joined Zolciak at her table and casually gave her his phone number. The 44-year-old television personality seemed pleased with Biermann’s act and also gave him her number. After giving the football linebacker her number, Zolciak immediately felt a spark, and the rest was history. Thankfully, that part of Zolciak and Biermann’s relationship was caught on camera by Bravo producers.

During the period of their low-key relationship, Zolciak became pregnant with the estranged couple’s first child. Then, in May 2011, the pair welcomed their son, Kroy Jagger, a.k.a KJ.
