Singer and songwriter Johnny Drille has disclosed that he first met his wife, Rima Tahini, during their time at Mavin Records.
Speaking on The Right Hand podcast, Drille discussed how the couple deliberately kept their relationship and marriage private from the public for several years.
He revealed that they started dating around November or December 2018 but chose to keep their romance away from the spotlight until July 2023, when they officially made their relationship public.
He said they had already married before making their relationship public, noting that they had spent about five years keeping their romance away from public attention.
Reflecting on the secrecy surrounding their relationship, Drille said, “I think about it now, and I don’t realise how much work we had to put into it for keeping it on the record for so long.”
He added, “We started dating in November-December of 2018 and I don’t think the rest of the world knew. They got to know in July 2023, and that’s about five years because we had gotten married, which is about a year and seven months-ish after we announced it.”
The singer described keeping the relationship private as challenging but expressed gratitude for meeting his wife during his time at Mavin Records.
“It wasn’t easy keeping it, but I’m grateful I met my wife at Mavin’s,” he said.
