Who is Pharrell Williams’ wife Helen Lasichanh? Family steps out to support artist at Louis Vuitton show

Pharrell Williams’ family was seen supporting him at the Louis Vuitton show during the Paris Fashion Week, which kicked off on June 24, 2025.

The show, presenting the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection, was held at Centre Pompidou, per a report in Hypebeast. Williams is Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Creative Director, and his collection drew inspiration from modern Indian sartorialism.

A highlight of the event was the presence of his wife, Helen Lasichanh, and his four kids — son Rocky Williams and their triplets. The family showed their love and support for the 52-year-old artist, as all of them wore matching outfits and posed for the camera.

Williams’ wife, Helen, is a private person, except for her presence at fashion shows. According to New York Post, she is a former volleyball player and was a star athlete at St. Thomas University. She earned the Florida Sun Conference’s Player of the Year award in 2001. Her coach, Hector Martinez, described her as

“A quiet warrior. She was very intense, but she would not necessarily express it verbally.”

All you need to know about Pharrell Williams’ wife and children

Pharrell Williams’ wife, Helen Lasichanh, was born on July 22, 1980. She was raised in Florida, a report in the Elle magazine stated. She attended high school and college in Miami. After being named Player of the Year in the Florida Sun Conference, she was selected for the Women’s Volleyball All-Conference team.

She met her husband, Pharrell Williams, in Miami. After being close friends for two-and-a-half years, they started dating. A report in Bustle stated that the couple got engaged in 2012 after being in a relationship for more than five years.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2014, Pharrell Williams spoke about his attraction towards his wife. He said:

“She just stood out. I was like, 'Who and what is that?' I knew at some point something was going to happen. I was just so enamored by the moment I was having with her. I just wanted to read that book. I didn't care what was in it.”

He added how hard it was to know her as at that time she was in a relationship. Williams added:

“She didn't answer half my text messages. She had a boyfriend and she wasn't interested.”

During their whirlwind romance in 2008, their son, Rocket Ayer Williams, was born. Explaining the meaning behind his name during a 2014 interview with Oprah Winfrey, he said:

“In the same way the Indians named their children after a force or animal or element, we named him after a man-made machine that was meant to go up, meant to ascend. Metaphorically, it was because of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Rocket Love,’ Elton John’s ‘Rocket Man,’ and Herbie Hancock’s ‘Rockit’ — all of my favorite musicians.”
