Williams met Van Veen at a viewing party for “The Bachelor” hosted by a mutual friend. “We went to a weekly viewing party every week,” Williams explained (via The Daily Mail) in an interview on “Bachelor Live” in 2016. “It was like a big group date, but with both genders equally distributed . . . it was how we met up.”
The pair dated for three years before Van Veen proposed to Williams at another “Bachelor” viewing party in February 2014. “So where the viewing party is, is at my friend Lee Eisenberg’s house . . . And he has a couch where we always watch the show, and that’s where Ricky proposed to me, on Lee Eisenberg’s couch,” she explained on “Bachelor Live.”
The couple tied the knot in September 2015 in a ceremony that was officiated by none other than Tom Hanks, with guests like Williams’s “Girls” costars Lena Dunham and Jemima Kirke, as well as Katy Perry and John Mayer, per People.
However, the two called it quits in June 2019 after four years of marriage. “With mutual love and respect, we have made the decision to separate as a couple. We are grateful for the friendship that we have and will continue to have,” Williams and Van Veen said in a joint statement to Page Six at the time.
