Kimberly Ann Hart and Michael Fredric Beckensale met on September 18, 1996. Kimberly was a young gymnast at the time. She was homesick from her friends, family, and most important man in her life at the time. His name was Tommy Oliver.
Through Kim's trainings for the Pan Global games, her heart yearned for her beloved white knight. She was miles apart from him, when she decided to write him a letter among the many she had sent him.
Letter after letter, email after email, the young gymnast would pour out her heart and soul to the man she truly belonged with at the time. However, as she continued to train, her mind tended to wander about her relationship with him.
It was a warm, but eventful afternoon when the Zeo rangers were enjoying each other's company at the Juice Bar. The five rangers, as well as Billy Cranston, their friend and technician support in the Power Chamber were all watching their fearless leader lift several weights. Then, the heartbreaking news came.
She had found someone else. This crushed the young ranger, but at the same time, it helped him grow as a person. As time changed, Kimberly became close to Mike.
With his crazy lifestyle as an actor and her life as a gymnast, the two tried to make a friendship before their blossoming relationship. Eventually, the two dated for a while, until lightening struck twice for the two of them.
Kimberly returned to Angel Grove in 1997 with her best friend Jason Lee Scott. At the time, her relationship with Mike remained a guarded secret. Since then, people saw an instant connection between her and Jason, but as the young former rangers would confirm, they were close friends, but nothing more.
There was at least a few times Kim and Tommy had spoken to each other, but it remained a question on whether the two would reconcile. Moreover, Tommy was dating Katherine Hillard until his first year of college. The three had remained friends since then.
Later in 1999, shortly after winning Pan Global gold, Kim put her dreams on hold when Mike made a request for her to move in with him. Eventually, the couple married eight months later, in a disclosed area of Florida.
A few years later provided many hardships and struggles for the young couple, but one of the many brought happiness, when their first child Manuela (Ella, for short) was born.
The family blossomed as they enjoyed their lives under the spotlight. Both Kim and Mike were highly publicized for their very romantic love, as well as Mike's growing acting career.
Kimberly returned to gymnastics, but as a coach a few months later. With that, in 2004, the Beckensales welcomed their second son Carter Thomas, who was named after two friends that the young woman knew. Carter, for a reason beyond reasoning of the former Lightspeed Rescue ranger, and Thomas, for several personal reasons the woman stated.
Now, the family resides in Orlando, Florida where Hart Gymnastics is located.
AN: I just wanted to update everyone on their lives up to this point before the meet. Don't worry Kim and Kat are meeting with Tommy soon.
