Colleen Hoover and her husband share a beautiful love story. The author, best known for her 2016 romance novel "It Ends With Us," has known her significant other for most of her life.

Colleen Hoover and her husband, William Heath Hoover, have proven that true love exists. The two have been married for over two decades and share three children.

The highly successful author from Texas, who held a spot on Publishers Weekly's top 10 best-seller list for over a year, attributes much of her success to her husband's unwavering belief in her dreams and unwavering support of her career.

Colleen Hoover's Relationship with Her Husband

In 2019, Colleen shared a sweet post narrating the timeline she had known her husband, William. The successful author explained that although they attended the same daycare as children, they had never interacted since her husband was older. She wrote:

"We went to the same daycare. He was one of the older kids who scared me, so we never spoke."

She further elaborated on their journey, stating that in the '90s, when she was 15, fate brought them together once again. During that period, he tried to convince her to go out with one of his friends.

A year later, she saw William and overheard him confiding in a friend about his weekly tradition of taking his mother out for dinner. Colleen interpreted this as a positive indication, as her mother had always advised her to seek a man who treated his mother with kindness.

Her mother believed it would reflect how the man would treat his partner. So Colleen developed an interest in William, wrote a note with her home phone number, and left it under the windshield wiper of his truck.

Colleen and Her Husband's Love Story Began after Her Date with Another Guy

In 2022, Colleen shared a post narrating how at 16, in 1996, she went on a date with a guy. During their outing, she noticed William sitting alone, enjoying a Mexican pizza. She couldn't help but wonder why a teenage guy was sitting alone on such a weekend evening.

Several months later, she began dating William. After a few months, she mustered the courage to inquire about that evening. She asked why he had been sitting alone, and William responded that he was feeling hungry.

The two would later tie the knot in 2000. The couple celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in 2021, and the author took to her Instagram to share a heartwarming post.

Colleen Hoover's Husband Has Been Supportive of Her Career

William has been instrumental in Colleen's career. Before the author published her first novel "Slammed" in 2012, which made it on the New York Times best-seller list, she, her husband, and their three children lived in a single-wide mobile home in Texas.

During this time, her husband provided essential support by caring for their children, allowing the author the time and space to focus on her writing endeavors.

As a mother of three, she has attained remarkable success as an author. She has made a significant mark by becoming the first self-published author to reach the top spot on the prestigious New York Times best-seller list.

Among her notable works are bestselling novels such as "It Ends With Us," "Slammed," "Ugly Love," and several others. She joins the list of successful female authors like J. K. Rowling, mother to Mackenzie Jean Rowling. J. K. is famous for writing the "Harry Potter" franchise.
