BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Ally Lara, the woman behind the viral 'Find Ally Love' message on The Fox Theater marquee, has found love.

According to an Instagram post, Lara shared she had started her dating adventure in June but there was one guy who stood out.

"For our second date he cooked me jambalaya and that’s probably when I knew for sure," she wrote.

Lara has decided to keep her suitor's identity private.

When we first told you about Ally's quest for romance, local businesses reached out, offering their services to Ally at no charge. Makeup artists, floral shops, restaurants and more.

Before her date, a local makeup artist helped her get ready and Sonder, where they dined, offered their services at no cost.
