Phillip Phillips Met Hannah Blackwell At 18
Phillips, who won American Idol in 2012, met Blackwell six years ago, before winning season 11 of the singing competition. Blackwell, now 22, met Phillips, now 24, volunteering at a women and children’s center. Phillips was 18 at the time, and the singer revealed that the pair had been together for nearly three and a half years before his AI win.

“She is so excited for me. She supported me throughout all of this, and I love her to death,” Phillips told People after his win. Blackwell even makes an appearance in Phillips’ debut music video for his smash hit, “Home.”
