Lily Aldridge and Caleb Followill may have married in 2011, but by the time they made it official, they’d already been together for years. In fact, as Aldridge told Tatler, the first time she set eyes on her now-husband was at Coachella in 2007.
In a Q&A video shared to her YouTube channel, Aldridge went a little deeper on the start of their love story. They’d met backstage at Coachella because the friend she’d gone to the festival with was friends with one of Followill’s brothers. The two hit it off, but she had a feeling they’d cross paths again, so she left it at that and didn’t offer up any contact details. After all, she was busy with her own festival priorities! “I had some moshing to do,” she quipped.

Sure enough, they saw each other a second time a little while after that, and got on great … but again, she left sans swapping numbers. After all, she had an instinct they were meant to be. The supermodel’s gut feeling proved to be right. Soon after their second hangout, a mutual friend asked if they could pass along her details, and everything fell into place. “I was, like, screaming. Literally screaming … I knew it! I knew he was going to find me,” she reminisced. Talk about intuition. As Aldridge said, concluding the story, “When you know, you know.”
