It turns out Ashley Graham and Justin Ervin have a very strange meet-cute. While "porn," "Sunday" and "church" aren't exactly three words usually found in the same sentence, that's exactly where this love story began. Graham confirmed during a 2017 interview with InStyle that she and Ervin met while "in church for 'Porn Sunday,'" which she described as being "a day where ex-porn stars came in and talked about how their life had been changed by church and God."
Graham divulged a few more details in "A New Model: What Confidence, Beauty, and Power Really Look Like," admitting, per Glamour, that she had a volunteer job at the church welcoming people and working the elevator. "When two tall men walked in, I didn't bat an eye. One nudged the other and said, 'If you don't talk to her, I will.' His friend left the elevator, but he stayed on," Graham recalled, with the man that stayed behind being, you guessed it, Ervin.
As we now know, Graham didn't feel an instant physical attraction to him, but there was something bubbling under the surface. "There was something sweet about Justin, and I was at church, so I had to be polite ... He seemed to be looking into my soul when we talked. He was smart and funny and had traveled the world," she remembered, sharing that was why she agreed to go on a date with him.
