“All I kept hearing is this voice to my left and I’m like, ‘Who is getting all this attention from the bartender that a single girl can’t even just get a water?’ So I looked and I was like, ‘Oh!' " she continued.

The Brazilian model didn’t recognize Matthew right away. “He had a big beard. He had a Rasta hat on. And I kept looking down and I saw some things that I liked — Isaw he had flip-flops onand I was like, ‘Oh, I like that.’ So I decided to hang around a little bit longer at the bar,” she said.

Later that night, the pair bonded over some drinks. “I got her to my table and I made her, I mean, an incredible margarita,” Matthew told PEOPLE. “Over those margaritas — probably my third, her first — I understood her Portuguese better than I’ve ever understood it in the last 19 years. I spoke better Spanish than I ever have in my life, or ever probably will again.”

“The language of love is coming out of Portuguese language and in Spanish that night, and we both understood every single word,” he added.
