Lilianne was gifted at rhythmic and acrobatic gymnastics having competed at both national and international level, in 2022 and 2023 she became European champion in the Elite Junior Pair division.

Lacey and Lilianne had been acro partners since 2018 when Lilianne was thirteen and Lacey, seven. Throughout this time, the two had become close, sharing a unparalleled bond, Lacey saw Lilianne as a mother figure, approaching her with her problems and when she needed comfort.
