Seems like the hug Republican presidential candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie gave to Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones after a football game in January paid off.

Jones is scheduled to host a fundraiser for Christie Wednesday night at his mansion, according to a Wednesday report in The Dallas Morning News.

The public display of affection in January called into question who footed the bill for Christie to attend the game and Christie’s relationship with Jones, who had been working with the Port Authority, which Christie helps oversee as governor, according to NBC.

Jones’ fundraising event is closed to the public and tickets start at $1,000, according to the newspaper.
