How did Jill Wagner and David Lemanowicz meet?
The pair met when Jill was 17 years old, and David was 20 at the time. They had dated for a while when they were younger and reconnected later in life. Jill shared the moment stating:
I snuck out of my dad's window at home and went out at night, which I wasn't supposed to. I snuck out and met him. Fell completely head over heels. We went out three times, and then I never heard from him again.
During the first time they went on three dates, and on their first date, Jill snuck out of her home to meet him. Jill explained that she never heard from him again after the third date until they ran into each other 17 years later in Afghanistan.
He was a hockey player and he came through North Carolina and we had about three dates, and then he was ‘missing in action’ until about five years ago. We have quite the love story and, in fact, Hallmark is making our story… We haven’t filmed it yet.
She was there on a USO tour, and he had been deployed with the Air Force. He said there was a morale event, and that was when he saw her.
The picture for the USO event didn't look like her, but the name was the same, so he looked her up. He then approached her when she signed autographs and confirmed that it was indeed her.
When they met in Afghanistan, they were both seeing other people. However, in 2016, Jill broke up with the person she was dating, and coincidentally again, she ran into David while having dinner with her friends.
After that, Jill and David began dating and later got engaged in July 2016. Finally, Jill Wagner and David Lemanowicz's wedding happened in April 2017.
Talking about their wedding, Jill provided some insight into the inspiration behind her special day during an interview with It's A Wonderful Movie, stating:
I wanted my wedding to be as southern as gone with the wind. I had mine in NC at Rose Hill Plantation. The boys got to shoot sk...eet, the girls got to drink champagne and relax in the mansion.
The couple have been together since then supporting each other. During Father's Day in 2021, Jill praised her husband for great parenting skills stating:
My husband gives me unconditional love and makes me and our family feel safe and secure. He works so hard to keep our farm in order and he gives his girls ( Lija and Army) the best of him. When I first saw @urban_cimo with his daughter Lija I think a part of me fell in love and knew that was the kind of man I wanted to be the father of my children one day. …. Little did I know it would be him.

She was conceived on July 4 so we wanted a patriotic name and my husband is in the military so we chose her first name to be Army. We thought that was a good name to honor both. Her middle name is Gray (spelled the American way, with an A) because I have always loved that name. It is strong, intelligent, soft and feminine all in one … which is what I want her to be.
Their second born daughter, Daisy Roberta was born in August 2021. In a heartfelt letter posted by Wagner on August 31, 2021, on Instagram, as they welcomed their second-born child, she expressed her gratitude to her husband David with a touching message that stated:
A Love Letter To My Husband , To say you are my hero is a vast understatement. There have been times where I have looked at you and thought “I couldn’t love this man more than I already do”. I was wrong. On August 19, 2021 you held my hand as we welcomed our sweet little Daisy Roberta Lemanowicz into this world. Neither one of us knowing the madness the hours following would hold. One of the reasons I fell in love with you is because you always made me feel safe. I guess I never truly knew how very important that was until now.
Jill Wagner also talked about the regrets she feels for not documenting her first pregnancy and urged women to celebrate every moment of their pregnancy journey.
Ladies, I didn’t do a maternity shoot with Army Gray and I regret it now. As a woman, when you can see what your body can do during a pregnancy, it should be celebrated and captured as a beautiful strength in a fleeting moment of time. I am proud of this body and The miracle it gives a home to.
