Fast-forward to May 2018, when Tori tied the knot with her German basketball player beau Andre - after announcing their engagement in September 2017. Fast-forward again to December 2016, when these two lovebirds first locked eyes.

But before we get too mushy, let's take a trip down memory lane... Do you remember that July 2023 health scare? Tori collapsed while dining out with friends in Los Angeles and was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. What a rollercoaster! 🎠

Tori released a statement to People on Thursday which read: 'We are just so grateful for what’s to come and can’t wait to meet this little gift from God'; the couple are seen October 2019

Miraculously, thanks to her friends' quick thinking and top-notch medical care, Tori made a speedy recovery - just three days after the scariest moment of her life! In an emotional update on social media, she penned: "Hi friends... I'm dealing with some unexpected health challenges." We're sending all our love vibes!

Of course, this didn't stop Tori from releasing her fourth EP, 'tori', just a few days later - talk about dedication! 🎶

Andre, being the rockstar husband he is, kept fans updated on Tori's condition, sharing: "I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has prayed for Tori and sent any ounce of love her way. I believe it moved mountains." Amen to that! 🙏

Tori (pictured May 2024) has won two Grammys on five nominations, winning the awards in 2019 in for Never Alone, in the category of Best Gospel Performance/Song; and for Hiding Place, for Best Gospel Album

This powerhouse couple first stole hearts with their American Idol performance in 2010 - when Tori was just a teenager! Fast-forward to her chart-topping debut album Unbreakable Smile (2015), which spawned hits like Nobody Love, Should've Been Us, and Hollow. She's won two Grammys on five nominations, including Best Gospel Performance/Song for Never Alone (2019) and Best Gospel Album for Hiding Place (2019).

And did you know that Andre played college basketball at Biola University? He's currently an assistant coach at Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, California.
