They had an exclusively online relationship throughout this period, but Scott visited his girlfriend six times. Scott has been living with scleroderma since the age of 13. It’s an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the skin and other body areas. Due to the disease’s aggressive nature, Scott spent most of his time at home, missing his high school and college years. At 22, he decided he was healthy enough to start working and finally try to do normal things. Meeting Divine motivated him to travel, despite doctors’ restrictions. They thought it would be impossible because his oxygen level was not good enough. But Scott proved it was wrong and flew to the Philippines 6 times just to see the love of his life. Scott’s family agrees that Divine has brought a lot of light into his life, during their relationship, he became much more confident and happier.
