When they met, Lasichanh still had a boy friend so they remained friends for two and a half years. According to Williams, he had no choice but to patiently wait as Helen stood out for him and was different from the rest of the girls. He loved the fact that she was not as made up as every other girl and they bonded over music. The love birds were both huge fans of the Tribe Called Quests so it made bonding a smooth process.
They finally got hitched in 2013 in the presence of friends and family and have since then remained stronger in love. The two super cool lovers are not one to put their private life on public but they have no reservations to mild PDA (public display of affection). Helen is a model and designer and together with her husband is actively involved in charity.

The Grammy winning artist became a father for the first time in 2008 when his lovely wife delivered a healthy cute son. Pharrell said that his son Rocket is the best song he has ever co-written and id evidently smitten by his adorable son. The funny name Rocket came about as the fresh parents wanted something that would represent their hope for their son and as the name implies, Ayer is meant to ascend.
The music star says humility and loyalty are two of the most important virtues he trains his son to have as he is a smart kid and for people who are gifted, these two attributes matter a whole lot.
