aws appsync connection does not bring back items from all models - amazon-web-services

Question

I created a schema using the amplify cli and everything works as expected. The problem is when i try to perform a query on the events model it brings back comments as being null even though the event has comments. What confuses me more is when i query the comments alone they bring back their respective events but same thing does not work when i query for events. This is my schema below:
type Event #model {
id: ID!
title: String!
latitude: Float!
longitude: Float!
startDate: String!
endDate: String!
description: String!
coverUrl: String!
locationName: String!
Owner: User! #connection
attendies: [User!] #connection
photos: [Photo]
organization: Organization
comments: [Comment] #connection
}
type Comment #model {
id: ID!
user: User! #connection
event: Event! #connection
text: String!
}
The queries i performed are:
List Events
query listEvents {
listEvents {
items {
title
Owner {
username
}
comments {
items{
text
}
}
}
}
}
which brings back:
{
"data": {
"listEvents": {
"items": [
{
"title": "second Event",
"Owner": {
"username": "likono"
},
"comments": {
"items": []
}
}
]
}
}
}
and List Comments
query listComment{
listComments{
items{
text
event {
title
id
}
}
}
}
which brings back
{
"data": {
"listComments": {
"items": [
{
"text": "Second Comment Same User Same Event",
"event": {
"title": "second Event",
"id": "8bd6656b-b307-4e8f-ba65-84f75a4c2298"
}
}
]
}
}
}
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
