Adrienne & Israel Houghton's Love Story | All Things Adrienne
Jun 09, 2021- Hello everyone. I will definitely bring guests to my videos from time to time, and today we have my favorite guest of all time. I am very excited about this. It's my husband, my best friend worldwide. We are freshly married and, literally, every day, I thank God for our trips to unite us. So feel comfortable, because we are about to tell you the whole
story
of us. So are you ready to meet him? Say yes, say yes, say yes. I listen to you, you are ready. Okay, okay, you're ready, you're ready, you're ready. Nena, come on. This is my husband, Israel Holton. (laughing) You, our names are wrong, should be understood. - all the time.I always joke that I literally thought I went from a name that no one could pronounce another last name that no one can pronounce. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I can introduce Israel Houghton. - The crowd goes crazy, I can hear them shout at home actually. - Through the screen, exactly. Well, are you ready for this? - I'm ready. - Actually? - Yes. - Do not you
love
this kind of thing? - It's my favorite thing in life. (Laughs) - Sarcasm at another level, prepare for it. - No, but I'm excited. I think people ... well, I'm excited about anything about you and all thethings
Adrienne includes me. - There you have. (Optimistic music) - We met in New York City in a church called CCC. - What does CCC mean? - Christian Cultural Center. - There you have. - We met because we were doing ... - We were promoting. - Yes, promotion for a film in which he starred, yes. - Call I'm inlove
with a Church girl. - I met you there.I literally thought, I am the church girl, I arrived very late and literally said: "Hello, pleasure in meeting you." We embrace, no, right, we embrace? - Yes, I think we gave as a hug from the church. - As. - Shortrias how a church hug looks. - Like. Hello, pleasure in meeting you. - Then the movie came out and, you know, you work on many projects, you generally do not keep in touch with everyone. We are still friends. - Yes, we all did. It was like a clique from us that everyone made the movie. -And the first day I met his family, I met his mother in particular and his brother -in -law, and I got along with both. - Super Wild. -Then, when he came to the city, Jared, his brother -in -law, would be like: "Hey, come." - They were going out without me all the time.
I was like, "why do you more great than us?" They became very, very tight. - And the rest is a
story
, because occasionally we saw each other occasionally in different functions and that kind of thing, and I simply, I don't know how to put this. You know someone will be in your life forever. - You just don't know how. - You don't know what capacity, but you only know that I like going out with them, I like to talk to them. You make me laugh. - I used to laugh together. - All the time, we still laugh all the time. - Yes. - I think that is the thing. - Always. (Laughing) Oh, it's too fun. - But I knew that she was the only one, really in our type of first real appointment, our first real escape together.It started a little crazy, (laughing) I had a lot of chaos connected with paparazzi and other
things
. I had recently announced that I had divorced me, although I had divorced me for a while, so everyone was speculating and said, crazy. - Different things and say crazy things about her, at that time, I just said: "Hey, listen, I am happy to take one for the team, this is new." You can simply say: "Hey, I didn't know it was all that." - You can say: "I don't want to have anything to do with him." and keep it pushing. - And she said: "I was your friend before this happened, now I am your friend, and we are going to overcome it." I think at that time, I knew that this is, and she is all for me, and what?Eight months later we were married. - MHMM. (Optimistic jazz music) One of the things we have in common is that we love to travel and love to travel together. We have a lot of fun, although I hate flying. - Well, once we land. - Once we land, yes, because I hate flying. It is not my favorite thing, (laughing) what makes no sense for someone who loves to travel, but we decided a summer, oh my God, we go to Greece, and then we think, we are going to Paris, then we will go to Greece, and we will simply jump through Europe, we will take from there. - Then, it was August 11. - Yes. - And he had organized a private boat - Yacht. - In the Seine, and a chef and all that, and so on ... crazy.
So I thought we were just going to dinner, and in reality, this is very common in Paris, they actually have a lot of cruises that dinner in the Seine, as if it were a public restaurant and open to which you can go that are only floating restaurants, so I thought it was that, so I'm like, "good, great, whatever, we are having dinner." Keep there and I realize, it's just ... - No one else there, only us. - I'm like, "Wait, is this private?" I was like, "Wait, what?" So, at some point, we go down for dinner. After dinner, he says: "Oh my God, I know the perfect ..." When you know that your girl is on Instagram, and you know that a drug really would mean everything for her, this is how she got me, okay?
There was a bowl that had all these white rose petals, so you said: "Nena, if you grab them and throw the pink petals and turn around, I will film you in slow motion." - Pause. - Yes. - Wonderful tonight, Eric Clapton. I was timing it to appear that song. - That is our song. - At that time, yes, it was also our first dance. - It was also 11 o'clock, so the Eiffel tower illuminated. - Correct, exactly at 11, the lighting of the Eiffel Tower, I am how I totally thought that I am only doing this for the 'Gram.
Do it for the 'gram. - I won't do it. - Do it for the 'gram. - I'm not going to do it. ♪ Do it for him, I will ♪ - it's fine. - Well. - Then, I turned around and say: "With the account of three." Well, because I think I'm doing it for an opportunity, so baby, accounts, do it. - One, I'm going to do it. - Well. - One, two, three, bling. - And he was on his knee and captured him in slow motion. The problem is that I would give you that footage, but my mother was the filming and did a terrible job. - It was terrible. - It was terrible, but we loved her a lot. - Then it is not.
I love you, mom, but that is not your strength. Boys, I'm the only girlfriend, let's know in the comments, am I the only girlfriend who, when they see someone in his knee, I put myself with him? I was like, "Oh!" - I was so nervous that you don't even understand. I am putting it on your middle finger like ... (laughing) so terrible. - And then I see the ring. I literally say: "What did you get to me?" I am like, "I'm going to be stolen in the street for this ring." I'm like, "I'm afraid." And then, later, we were flying home from Paris, remember that I thought: "Nena, my ring is a bit unpleasant." - Osxious was the word. - And what did you say? - That was the whole idea. (laughs) (soft music) We had the most incredible and incredible wedding.
We expected 50 people to appear and 87 people appear. - To Paris and it was ... - I was like, I sent you the invitation thinking that you did not come. - I will say, - just joke. (Laughing) - I will say we learned a really great lesson that night. We were in this very, very exclusive elegant place, but the highlight of the night was Angie Martínez, her friend. - Yes, who is like my sister. - Our dear friend of New York City, which is the voice of New York. - Literally. - It comes in the microphone at 11:11 and says: "Okay, all." - She said: "Adrienne, we could be in Paris, but Adrienne, never forget, you are a girl from New York City." - And all the waiters, in the signal, left with pizza boxes. - They left the mental state of Jay -Z, Empire, and then left with these pizza boxes, pink pizza boxes, with our crest in them. - With our crest in them. - It was the success of the night.
As, some pizza. - How do you pronounce the name of our chef? - So much money. - Alain Ducasse. - Alain Ducasse. Alain Ducasse was the chef of our wedding, which is crazy. - Michelin star. - Incredible, and then the pizza came out, and they all said "Yes!" - Everyone lost their heads through the pizza. - What I love about our wedding is that we really had the people around us to love us, who support us, who have been there with us. My family, his family, the children, who was incredible, and we just had a ball.
We didn't go to bed until six in the morning. - MHMM, we saw the sun rise. (Optimistic music) - The point is that we only make sure to find fun in everything we are doing. - All. Go looking for your guitar. Please go look for the guitar, because we need a guitar. - We could be in the most boring event or in the most exciting and exclusive restaurant in the city, it doesn't matter. - We are the fools in the corner that acts with nuts. We will literally sit in the corner and we will only have ours, we are in our own small world, in my own corner, in my own little world, and we simply laugh. (laughing) We love music, so we are always listening to music.
We love to go to concerts together. He loves to go to the movies while taking a nap. (Laughing) I've really done very well. I stay awake now. - You have done well lately. - We like to sing together, but we are not like ... - if it is cold. - It is not a musical in our house, how to wake up the morning, ♪ Good morning, handsome ♪ ♪ Good morning, beautiful ♪ ♪ ♪ thanks ♪ - We don't do that. - That's weird. We love to entertain, so we love to organize parties, get dark circles, have a family, and yes, sometimes Israel ends in the piano.
No, but then I will sing with you then. If you are in a moment like that, we end up singing together, but it ends up being like everyone singing together, even those who cannot sing. - Those are the favorites. (Laughs) (optimistic music) - Something that people don't know about Israel, people take you too seriously, because you don't take yourself very seriously, so I think people think: "Oh, my God, he is an artist of the Gospel." Some people say you are a minister, so they think you are like super loaded. He is normal, guys, as if he were a lot of fun, super silly, and will literally do anything to make me laugh.
Something else, something that people don't know about you, expects, you can't eat without a shirt. - That's true. (laughing) That's weird, right? - You have to have a shirt when you eat. Not me, I don't need anything to eat, I'm fine. - I think that one thing that people assume about Adrienne is that she is always the life of the party wherever I go, which is true. I mean, she is, and when she is on, she is lit, and if she likes you, then you like and you will know, but I would never prefer to get out of this house, and I am in the same way, and I can be extremely antisocial. - I am very easily ashamed, like, "my God, that will be so shameful that I can't greet you." People will approach me and say: "My God!" And I'm like, (panting) sometimes I don't even want to be noticed. - The other thing is that this woman can fall asleep (laugh) anywhere, at any time. - Narcoleptic, just a little. - I mean, it could be the best show on Earth and we could be seeing it and being around 20,000 people, and the next thing I know is that I will feel this head on my shoulder and she is asleep. - Yes, knocked out. -He fell asleep at a Jay-Z concert sitting next to Jay-Z's wife.
That is quite epic. - Boys, I was really tired. (Soft and optimistic music): I think it is so important that the person who loves them likes. We all know people who were in relationships that, sure that you love the person with whom you are, but if you do not get along, if you do not like them, you will have difficulty working. We have no difficulty working. We really like to be close to each other, so much that we feel anxiety due to separation when it has to be working somewhere and I am working outside the country. - I'm just like, "it would be much more fun if you were here." As at this time, I am having a lot of fun, because you are here.
If I have an option, I prefer you, I want to be with you. Yes. - Likewise. - So that was the story about us. I can't wait to listen to what you think. Definitely ask more questions, because guess what? He will be a recurring guest. (Laughing) Then ... - Wait, what? - Definitely, yes, you will return. You're going to do more, so if you have questions, be sure to put them in the comments for next time and don't forget to subscribe. (Kissing) Kiss them like me. (coverall)
