Who is Pharrell Williams' wife?
The singer has been married to Helen Lasichanh since October 12, 2013. She was born on July 22, 1980. She is a famous designer who also creates outfits for her husband. Lasichanh is known for giving back and is popular for her charity work during the time of Christmas, as per She Knows. In an interview with People, Williams once said, "I love her because of everything that she is, good, bad, and indifferent." He then added, “We share a space in love that is, I don’t possess her. You know when I was young I used to say things like, ‘Oh, she’s mine.'”
“But she’s not mine,” said Williams, before adding, “But she sure makes me feel like it.” The couple has four children together, including triplets. The singer also told the outlet, “I miss them, That’s the other thing that will tire you out. Longing takes a lot of energy out of you. I just try my best to live up to that and be that same way.”
About their initial meeting, Williams stated, "I was like, 'Who and what is that? I just knew. I knew at some point something was going to happen. I was just so enamored by the moment I was having with her. I just wanted to read that book — I didn't care what was in it," as per People. He further said that Lasichanh had a boyfriend, so for "two and a half years", they were just friends.
Williams said, "She just reminded me so much of myself. Different, marches to the beat of her own drum — but it was different than the rest of the girls who were, like, completely made up. She stood out."
The singer also stated they bonded over music. He added, "We love music, We're both huge Tribe Called Quest fans. So that just cemented that every girl that I've had a serious relationship loved Tribe and if they didn't, it just didn't make sense."
The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Rocket, in 2018. The pair announced they were expecting their second child in September 2016, however, the couple had triplets at that time.
