The couple first met as kids in Bible camp, and would send each other fun things like “pictures and doodles” via fax machine but drifted apart over the years until Marcus saw her on a billboard promoting a movie.
“I saw her on a billboard for An Education, and went and saw it,” he said of the 2009 film.
The two met up again after she came to visit him in Nashville amid work on the band’s second album, Babel.
“A friend of mine… had gone to New York, seen her, called me, and was like, ‘We’re gonna come to Nashville and see you play this basement show.’ They arrive. At the airport… I was stood outside Starbucks and I could see them come out. And she runs down and jumps into my arms like…‘Game over,’” he recalled.
“My wife’s one of the most beautiful women of all time… When we reconnected it was like, ‘Oh, I know you. You’re exactly who I know.’ And it was cool. I think [we got married quickly] because of that.”
The two got married in 2012, and share daughter Evelyn Grace, 10, another daughter born in 2023, and son Wilfred, 8. Watch him explain above!
