"Hannah was nervous, but it didn’t take much convincing at all when I explained that we could connect them to one another," Riendeau told What's The Jam.

"The procedure was quick and involved a needle creating a pocket, and then the magnet slid into the hole created," she said.

According to Riendeau, no stitches were involved in the procedure, and it wasn't particularly painful. She likes to think of it as a neat party trick and a great way to connect with her partner.

"I use the implant almost daily to link to Hannah," she said. "The magnets aren’t painful to use or to the touch. If anything, you could forget it’s there."
