Union, MO asked in Employment Law for Missouri

Q: Can an employer ban an employee from dating a former client?

I use to train at this gym, but I left and ended my contract with them. I then signed with another gym. The old gym had a no dating client rule. One of their employees and I fell for each other. I haven't been at that gym for over a year, but can that employee still be fired for dating me?

A: I'm aware of no state or federal law that would prohibit such an employment policy.
