While working for Axios, Alexi McCammond covered Joe Biden's presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020. This way, she got in contact with TJ Ducklo, who was Biden's press secretary at the time.
At first, the relationship between TJ Ducklo and Alexi was just professional and nothing more. But it blossomed into a friendship, and eventually, they began to have feelings for each other. Then in the November of 2020, they began dating.
'We both realized we both felt the same way,' TJ Ducklo told People. 'We're both really happy, and we wanted to do it the right way.'
And the two beginning to date meant that they had to disclose their relationship to their bosses. After Alexi told her editors at Axios, she was reassigned to cover progressive lawmakers in Congress and across the U.S. as well.
