Johnny Drille and his wife, Rima Tahini
Singer and songwriter Johnny Drille has revealed that he met his wife, Rima Tahini, while at Mavin Records.
The singer made the revelation during an interview on The Right Hand podcast, where he opened up about keeping his relationship and eventual marriage out of the public eye for several years.
According to Drille, he and his wife began dating around November or December 2018, but kept their relationship private until they announced it publicly in July 2023.
He said they had already married before making their relationship public, noting that they had spent about five years keeping their romance away from public attention.
Reflecting on the secrecy surrounding their relationship, Drille said, “I think about it now, and I don’t realise how much work we had to put into it for keeping it on the record for so long.”
He added, “We started dating in November-December of 2018 and I don’t think the rest of the world knew. They got to know in July 2023, and that’s about five years because we had gotten married, which is about a year and seven months-ish after we announced it.”
The singer described keeping the relationship private as challenging but expressed gratitude for meeting his wife during his time at Mavin Records.
“It wasn’t easy keeping it, but I’m grateful I met my wife at Mavin’s,” he said. (The Nation)
