2026 Press Appearances
Fox 32 Chicago
On Fox 32 Chicago, April discussed how dating in 2026 is being shaped by dating app fatigue and trends like “how take dating,” where singles are becoming more direct about their values and expectations up front.
April warned that having endless options has made many singles overly selective.
“They’re constantly looking for the next best thing, and they’re never finding a relationship.”
She explained how dating apps encourage comparison and keep users swiping instead of investing in what’s right in front of them. April explains why singles should expand beyond their typical “type,” and lean into word-of-mouth introductions instead of apps alone.
Fox 5 Local DC
On Fox 5 Local DC, April addressed how dating habits have shifted since the pandemic. While many singles have replied solely on apps, she encouraged viewers to rethink that approach post-lockdown.
“Meeting a person through someone else is still the number one way in order to find someone.”
April emphasized the importance of getting back to the basics: meeting people in real life, attending events in your area, and being approachable. She also challenged viewers to stop dating outside of a rigid “type”.
Fox 5 Good Day DC
On Good Day DC, April discussed how the holidays can cause relationship pressure, from family introductions to over-the-top gifts that signal things are moving too quickly. She encouraged singles to communicate their intentions and avoid repeating the same patterns that haven’t worked.
When asked about how to find love in 2026, she was direct:
“The number one way to meet someone is still through someone else.”
April emphasized getting offline, being approachable, and prioritizing real conversations over DMs on apps.
Fox 5 Live Zone PrimeTime
On Fox 5’s Live Zone PrimeTime, April joined a Valentine’s Day conversation about commitment, modern dating culture, and why so many singles struggle to find lasting relationships.
She addressed the impact of dating apps, unrealistic standards, and the pressure to constantly keep swiping instead of investing in connection.
“Our culture is all about bigger, better… what else is out there?”
April encouraged viewers to be intentional: communicate goals early, date outside your immediate area, and treat relationships with the same focus and effort they give to their careers.
Fox 5 Live Zone Washington DC
On Fox 5 Live Zone 5, April offered guidance on navigating new relationships over the holidays, from meeting family for the first time to gift-giving expectations and social pressure.
“Conversations are supposed to be like tennis. They’re supposed to go back and forth.”
She encouraged viewers to lead with curiosity, communicate plans early, and avoid rushing relationship milestones. As the year winds down, she noted, intention and mutual respect matter more than grand gestures and lavish gifts.
WFLA
On WFLA, April discussed why Tampa ranked as one of the best cities in the country for singles, citing its vibrant economy, unique dating pool, and active social scene.
While apps may feel like the default, she encouraged viewers to expand outside of their typical “type”, especially when searching for a serious relationship.
“It’s still the number one way to meet someone for a long-term committed relationship.”
April emphasized that introductions through friends, family, and acquaintances continue are better for finding lasting relationships. Confidence, openness, and real-world dates are essential to finding love in 2026, she noted.
2025 Media Highlights
ABC 7 - Good Morning Washington
On ABC 7’s Good Morning Washington, April weighed in on the highly public relationship between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, offering an expert perspective on compatibility and relationship longevity.
While two years together is a healthy timeline for marriage, April noted that fame adds a unique layer of pressure.
“It’s really hard for people that are in such spotlights to maintain a relationship and their careers at the same level of intensity.”
She discussed engagement timelines, prenups, and the realities of two high-achieving, famous partners building a life together. She emphasized that their relationship depends on balance, support, and mutual respect.
WCCO - CBS Minnesota
On WCCO, April discussed the rise of dating burnout, AI companions, and why more singles are returning to matchmaking instead of modern dating methods.
With nearly 79% of app users reporting burnout, she explained how endless swiping creates the illusion of unlimited options, often leading to choice overload and frustration.
“People have lost their ability to communicate.”
April addressed how technology has reshaped dating culture, noting that bots, AI tools, and DMs can’t replace real, human connection. Her solution: intentional dating, real-world interaction, and joining a matchmaking service.
Fox 5 Live Zone
On Fox 5 Live Zone, April shared six mindset shifts for singles navigating modern dating, encouraging them to move away from dating apps and endless swiping.
“Focus on quality, not quantity.”
She discussed the importance of aligning on long-term goals, investing your time in the right environments, staying emotionally available, and being open to support, whether through friends, coaching, or professional matchmaking.
Instead of chasing a checklist, April encouraged viewers to prioritize long-term compatibility and shared goals.
