“He was just like: ‘I just don’t understand.’ And I just said, ‘dad I just met this amazing person’. When have you ever seen me this happy?’
“And he goes, ‘no, I get that, but I still just don’t understand’ So I told him to ask me whatever he wanted, to help him understand,” she told VIP Magazine.
Maria, 27, is now single and based in Philadelphia.
