Jacob Hoff’s love story with Samantha Greenstone began in an unexpected way. On paper, it was a perfect meet-cute—boy meets girl, they fall for each other, and start spending all their time together. The catch? Jacob identifies as gay.
The couple, both actors, met during an audition for Fiddler on the Roof in 2015. Jacob immediately felt a connection when he heard Samantha’s laugh. “Whoever just made that sound is an immaculate human,” he thought. As they were cast in the same show, they spent more time together, forming a close bond.
However, Samantha soon realized her feelings for Jacob went beyond friendship. She felt a strong magnetic pull toward him, which left her confused. Seeking guidance, she visited an energy healer who told her she and Jacob shared a spiritual connection.
Nervously, Samantha texted Jacob, confessing her feelings. Jacob was taken aback but also reciprocated her feelings. Still, he had doubts. “I thought, ‘If I can’t make this work physically, it could ruin everything,'” he said. Despite being gay, Jacob knew he could still have deep emotional connections.
In 2017, Jacob and Samantha started dating. Their relationship grew deeper than just physical attraction. Jacob described it as a “soulful connection” that went beyond their sexuality.
In 2023, they got engaged and were married in Boca Raton, Florida, later that year. Despite some questions from others, they remained firm in their bond. Jacob said in an Instagram video, “Samantha is my soulmate, the person I want to spend my life with.”
For Jacob, the connection with Samantha transcends sexuality. He emphasized that their bond was deeper, a “soulmate connection” where love and devotion would last through all stages of life.
Jacob concluded, “We’re in love, and it’s that simple.”
