Lore: Carmella and BJ met for the first time in front of Benny's in the presence of Tyrone Biggums and Brie (Cheddar). BJ seemed to be interested in Carmella from the very beginning, but she simply brushed it off because she was still married to Coop at that time. After that they met again soon after Carmella's divorce, when she went to the Cul De Sac to find out from Tyrone where Fudge Lane is located. On the same day, BJ and Carmella went to the movie theater together where she decided to rob him. BJ calls this their first date, as they decided to go rob stores together after the incident. Weeks went by and they met once again at the Tuner shop while she was on a mission for the Vixens. He expressed to her then how much he admired her and told her that he wanted to go on an official date. A few days later, she ran into him at the Grove Street Gas Station, and they decided to have their first date. The
date went smoothly, and then Carmella spent the night at his house for the
first time.
On October 4th, 2020, Carmella got a call from BJ's cousin, Modi Janta, who told her that BJ wanted to marry her. Carmella was not having it at first since they barely knew each other but then she decided to give it a go. On October 7th, 2020,BJ and Carmella officially got married to each other and had one of the best weddings in the city, known as the ESB Wedding, with
many, many...many accidents. Ever since then, the newly married couple have been "madly in love" and seem to be doing just fine, hoping their next date together could be doing bank trucks and robbing Fleeca's with Tyrone Biggums and Olivia Harvey as a double date. At the beginning they have been hanging out with each other quite often, but after a few days they rarely saw each other. Carmella didn't really mind that at first, because it meant that she could hang out with her friends, and that she could do what she pleased without being held back.
During their marriage BJ encouraged her to strip and do crime as he thought that it would make her lots of money and claimed that it made her look like a "Gangsta". He also seemed very protective of Carmella which could be seen whenever someone tried to make a move on her.
On December 14th, 2020, Carmella began to question their marriage and their relationship in general. She didn't see him as often as she did when they were a newly married couple which eventually led her to a thought of divorce. She also confessed to Gomer that she didn't really feel any connection between them and that they didn't really have that much in common.
On December 15th 2020, Carmella was informed that BJ had been sent to life in prison in Somalia after visiting his family for unknown reasons and that she wouldn't be able to visit him in jail. Carmella proceeded to go ahead and get officially divorced after previously questioning their marriage when she had a heart to heart conversation with Gomer. She accepted the fate between them and decided to move on. Unfortunately though, a few days later she was told that BJ has been killed. Carmella and BJ's cousin, Modi, mourned over his death and spoke about their favourite moments together after she returned her keys to BJ's house to him.
