You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it's work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection, et cetera. But as far as Jason and I? Literally the moment we met, we were like, 'Oh, yeah. I love this dude.'"

After some people took her post too literally, she edited it to add, "Lemme clear up I was KIDDING (good lord). She gave me these for Christmas before M & I broke up.

Tony married Chace's sister, Candice, in 2011.

On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Chase said, "We were the family that took ridiculous Christmas pictures in front of the fireplace with Cowboys starter jackets and white turtlenecks, and that's a true story. You know it was the '90s because of the starter jackets. When he became a part of our family, watching those football games became a lot more nerve wracking."

Carrie and Tony reportedly dated from 2006 until the spring of 2007. Then, she and Chase met in May 2007 but broke up over text in 2008.
