Ashley Graham and Justin met at a church.
Graham began focusing on her modeling career after her divorce from her abusive ex.
In 2009, she arrived at her modeling agency buzzed from “some tequila.”
Following this incident, her mother advised her to attend either rehab or church.
“I was like, ‘I’m not an alcoholic, so I’ll just go to church,” Graham explained.
After that, she began attending a church in New York City, where she met her future husband, Ervin.
When asked about their first meeting, she said,
“Next thing you know, I’m in the elevator…
I’m also volunteering that Sunday. “I’m the elevator operator, and two men entered the elevator.”
She went on to say that one of the men told the other that he would talk to her if he didn’t.
Then Ervin was the only one who remained in the elevator.
Graham went on to say that the two ended up going on a coffee date.
She stated that the two had a great time together,
but she deleted his phone number after the coffee date because Ervin left Graham to pay the bills.

“‘I’ve been taken advantage of, and I’ve had women use me for a steak dinner,’ he said, ‘I don’t want that, I’m looking for a wife.”
Graham and Ervin went on a second date, and the rest is history.
