Pharrell Williams truly did "Get Lucky" in love.

The music producer and singer has been married to his wife, Helen Lasichanh, since 2013. After they met in the early-2000s, the couple retained a two-year friendship before they officially began dating. More than five years into their relationship, they married in a star-studded ceremony in Miami and went on to have four children together.

Despite their long-standing relationship and large family, Williams and Lasichanh maintain a low profile when it comes to their personal life. Over the years, Williams has opened up about their relationship during interviews, telling PEOPLE in 2018, "I love her because of everything that she is, good, bad and indifferent."

"We share a space in love that is, I don't possess her," the "Happy" singer added. "You know when I was young I used to say things like, 'Oh, she's mine.' But she's not mine. But she sure makes me feel like it."

So, who is Pharrell Williams' wife? Here's everything to know about Helen Lasichanh.

Born on ​​July 22, 1980, Lasichanh grew up in Florida, where she attended high school and college.

At St. Thomas University in Miami, the model was a star volleyball player, per the New York Post. In 2001, Lasichanh was part of the Women's Volleyball All-Conference Team in the Sun Conference. She was also named the Florida Sun Conference's Player of the Year that same year.

Lasichanh and Williams are an undeniably fashionable couple. Whether she is by his side at awards ceremonies or sitting in the front row at international fashion week shows, Lasichanh is always donning a chic ensemble.

The late André Leon Talley, Vogue's former creative director, told the New York Post of Lasichanh, "I love her style! ... Helen has this extraordinary quality where she can dress to the nines for the red carpet, or she can go around here with leggings."

When it comes to dressing their kids, Williams credits his wife for their children's stylish looks. "My wife is SEAL Team Six — there's nothing she can't do," he told Today in 2017. "She carried those three bodies and she's just on it all the time."

In June 2023, Lasichanh and all four of the pair's children supported Williams' debut show as the creative director for Louis Vuitton. At the end of the show, the family of six shared a sweet moment on the runway in matching camouflage outfits.

Lasichanh doesn't post on Instagram often, but her feed is full of snaps from around the world.

In May 2014, she posted a photo of her standing among friends on the streets of Paris, dressed in an oversized blue-and-white striped button-up shirt and a pair of form-fitting black pants. Months later, she uploaded a photo from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, posing with two friends for a serious selfie.

Williams has also shared pictures from their family travels, posting a photo of him, Lasichanh and their son Rocket in Egypt in October 2021. "Lotus Enzymes," the singer captioned the post, highlighting a key ingredient in his skincare line Humanrace.

Lasichanh's other trips have included destinations like Hong Kong, Naoshima, Brazil and Senegal.

Though the couple have been married since 2013, their romance didn't happen immediately. In fact, Williams told Oprah Winfrey in a 2014 interview that while he was initially attracted to Lasichanh, she didn't reciprocate the same feelings.

"She just stood out. I was like, 'Who and what is that?' " he said to Winfrey. "I knew at some point something was going to happen. I was just so enamored by the moment I was having with her. I just wanted to read that book. I didn't care what was in it."

It turns out there was a reason for her lack of feelings towards him after their first meeting, with Williams explaining, "She didn't answer half my text messages. She had a boyfriend and she wasn't interested."

Both Williams and Lasichanh are drawn to music, which he said was part of the reason why they bonded so well early on.

He told Winfrey in 2014, "We love music. We're both huge Tribe Called Quest fans. So that just cemented that every girl that I've had a serious relationship loved Tribe and if they didn't, it just didn't make sense."

"She just reminded me so much of myself," he added. "Different, marches to the beat of her own drum — but it was different than the rest of the girls who were, like, completely made up. She stood out."

More than five years into the couple's relationship, Williams and Lasichanh got engaged in 2012. They went on to tie the knot on Oct. 12, 2013, in Miami, surrounded by family and friends — including famous guests like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The reception included performances from Usher and Busta Rhymes.

The chic pair strayed from tradition, opting out of wearing a black tux and white dress and, instead, donning coordinating tartan outfits.

Williams' suit was a red, black, white and green pattern, while Lasichanh's voluminous long-sleeved gown boasted a blue, green and yellow pattern.

Years before the duo got married, Williams and Lasichanh welcomed their first child, son Rocket, in 2008.

The music producer previously told Oprah Winfrey that his son's name was derived from music legends, explaining, "Metaphorically, it was because of Stevie Wonder's 'Rocket Love,' Elton John's 'Rocket Man' and Herbie Hancock's 'Rocket.' All of my favorite musicians."

"His middle name is not Man, it's Ayer, after Roy Ayers," Williams added, referring to the jazz icon.

Rocket inspired one of his father's songs on the Despicable Me soundtrack, which dropped in 2010. Williams named one of the tracks "Rocket's Theme" after his eldest son.

In January 2017, Lasichanh gave birth to triplets, whose names still have yet to be announced. Both she and Williams maintain a low profile regarding their family and the photos they share publicly.

Although Williams has a busy work schedule, he and Lasichanh always "make time" for each other and their children.

"We carve out time for ourselves, but we also love it, too. We love being with the babies. It's crazy. And all of my babies are creative — we have to protect that," the musician told PEOPLE in 2018.

Rocket's creativity manifests itself through fashion. He has a keen eye for what to wear and enjoys attending runway shows with his parents. Each year, the trio attends Paris Fashion Week together.

Comparing their triplets to "a full-on assembly line," Williams can't help but commend his wife's strength in bearing them.

"I have to say, my wife carrying those babies — and all of them are fine and healthy," Williams told Jimmy Fallon during a 2017 appearance on The Tonight Show. "Man, I cannot say enough about women and all types of burdens that they carry, and the gifts that they carry. I just can't!"

"My wife is everything," he added. "I love you, baby. You're the best."
