Things You Didn't Know About Pharrell's Wife

When Helen and Pharrell met in the mid 2000s, she was taken and was flat-out uninterested in the music producer's advances. As Pharrell told Oprah Winfrey during a 2014 sit-down interview, he had to work for her love.

"She didn't answer half of my text messages," Pharrell recalled (via Express). "Egotistically, no (that didn't intrigue me). I was like, 'Oh yeah?' because I had that kind of money and because I had that kind of reach, I thought I was entitled and I had learned that no, she has a boyfriend and she's not interested." Helen kept Pharrell waiting two and a half years before they began dating. But it wasn't easy getting their love going. In fact, Pharrell's immaturity nearly cost him the entire relationship.

"I hurt her a lot in the very beginning once she was free and was available, because I had given her all this attention but I wasn't ready to like, let go," he recalled of his bachelor life. "I looked at my life and was like, 'Man, I could keep doing this for another 10 years, is that what I want to do?' And so I made a decision. And then we made a decision and just started dating." The pair got engaged in 2012 and tied the knot in 2013.
