Where did John Green meet Sarah?
John and Sarah originally met when they both attended the same school in Alabama.
However, they lost touch for a while before connecting again eight years after leaving school.
John was dating Sarah’s boxing partner in Chicago, Illinois, but, after they split up, the old school pals struck up a romance.
They were engaged in April 2005 and married in a Catholic ceremony in May the following year.
During the earlier videos in the Vlogbrothers series, which John presents with his brother Hank, Sarah was referred to as “the yeti” because she was often talked about but never seen on camera.
What was John Green diagnosed with?
John Green was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which he says he has struggled with since childhood.
He has also suffered from severe anxiety over the years.
The novelist manages the conditions with therapy and medication but admits that they sometimes get the better of him.
In 2017, he published Turtles All The Way Down, the main character of which struggles with the very same issues.
Meanwhile, John’s brother Hank shockingly revealed in 2023 that he had been diagnosed with cancer.
