Lauren Conrad found The One in husband William Tell, but their love story had to wait a decade before it began in 2012.
“I met my husband when I was 16 and sitting on stage at one of his concerts,” Conrad revealed via her blog in August 2016, referring to Tell’s time in the band Something Corporate. “Ten years later we were set up on a blind date.”
Once the pair were reintroduced in 2012, they quickly fell in love. The Laguna Beach alum wed the former guitarist in September 2014.
“It’s been wonderful so far,” Conrad exclusively gushed to Us Weekly in May 2015 of their first year of marriage. “I think it’s really different for everybody. For us it makes you officially family, which is really great, but as far as our relationship, we were really committed before, so it didn’t change a ton.” The twosome have since welcomed two sons, Liam and Charlie.
