Tiësto and Annika met at Catch restaurant in New York City in 2015 and got engaged in 2018 over the Thanksgiving holiday, they previously told Vogue. "We started hanging out for the next two months, and when Coachella came around, we decided the day before to go together," she said of when they first met.

"We spent the weekend running around the festival and having the best time, just the two of us. When we didn't get tired of each other for one second, and even flew back to New York City and still didn't want to leave each other, that was when we both knew," Annika recalled.
