Chance the Rapper and his wife, Kirsten Bennett, are gearing up to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary, but the couples love story dates back a lot further than that.

In a Wednesday appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , the three-time Grammy winner recalled meeting Bennett for the first time when he was just 9 years old.

My mom worked at a real estate agency with her mom, Chance said. Her mom threw, like, a Christmas party. Her daughters love to dance, so they did a choreographed dance at this real estate party that I was at when I was 9. And I saw her dancing and I was like, Lets get married!
