Celebrities are no strangers to whirlwind romances, but few did it quite like Elle King.
During an appearance on “Say Yes to the Dress,” King recalled their instantaneous connection.
“It was like we had known each other for ten years,” she shared.
And I didn’t get on my flight, and I stayed in London.
Two days later, he quit his job and moved to America."
Their relationship showed no signs of slowing down with Ferguson popping the question soon after.
They tied the knot in private on Valentine’s Day 2016.
In total, Ferguson and King had known each other for three weeks at the time.
However, the “Drunk” hitmaker never made it down the aisle.
The singer-songwriter also got introspective about her decision to wed Ferguson after a mere three weeks of knowing him.
“Before we even met, I had started kind of losing my mind,” she confessed.
However, that wasn’t the end of their romance because the couple reconciled in 2018.
King later offered some insight into her thought process behind giving the marriage another shot.
“I was in a destructive marriage,” King divulged.
“I was at the lowest point in my life.
I was not well.
I couldn’t look people in the eyes.
I literally couldn’t leave my house for weeks at a time.”
She even resorted to substance abuse because the heartache grew to be too much to bear.
King also gradually learned to be more loving and accepting towards herself before seeking external validation.
