Zoe was asked what happened when she found the photo of her dad on the man's Hinge profile, but unfortunately it didn't go anywhere as many speculated.
"We didn't match. I did message him."
"I was like, 'Oh my god, it's my dad', because I wanted to know if he had a good story or anything."
"He never messaged me back."
"And that was a year ago so we didn't match, we didn't get married, my dad didn't 'send him'."
She also said she wouldn't date anyone who had an interest in skydiving because she didn't want to go through that loss ever again.

Zoe explained further about her dad's death.
"There are definitely always risks involved in something like skydiving."
"He had been doing it his whole life so the more and more you do something you get put into smaller pools so statistically he was more likely to get hurt."
"He wasn't even the only one out of his friend group who had died from skydiving."

Zoe also explained what was involved in the accident.
He had a parachute malfunction and skipped three times upon impact. All of the bones in his body were broken.
Her dad spent several weeks in the hospital and due to COVID restrictions at the time her family couldn't visit him.
