However, there is one aspect of their relationship that definitely needs an improvement. It's their fashion. They still dress as if they're living in the 70's. Biker outfits, scraggly hair galore, the couple definitely needed a makeover according to friends and family. Their loved ones encouraged them to apply for the Ambush Makeover on the Today Show. They were quite hesitant about changing their looks so dramatically. But they decided to just go for it because they would never get picked.

In celebration of Valentine's Day, the Today Show decided to give a couple a makeover. Little did Jo and Kevin know, they would be the chosen couple.

Louis and Jill decided they would give them a makeover they'd never forget. Additionally, they understood the importance of keeping some of their original style intact.
