‘The date ended up being quite a drinking party’
Although Mike Tindall and Zara Tindall have been together for more than ten years, the two are still madly in love with each other. But, how did the two actually meet? In any case, one thing is certain: the two had a great time together from day one.
Meeting
Mike said he might never have met Zara if he had been drafted during the Rugby World Cup in Australia. That’s where the love story all started. The England team went far, but when Mike heard he was left out of the semi-finals, he was angry.
“I wasn’t drafted, so I went for a beer with someone else who wasn’t drafted and someone who was in Sydney.” These two guys had met Zara before, so when the British royal also showed up at the same place, the two introduced Mike to her. However, Zara was not afraid to make some effort for Mike herself. So she wrote her number on a note and gave it to one of Mike’s teammates. Okay then, Zara!
First date
Mike soon contacted Zara and the first date was planned. And this date is certainly one for the books if the stories are to be believed. “Best decision of Clive Woodward’s life,” said Mike.
About the first date, he revealed the following: “The date ended up being quite a drinking party. It was then that we discovered that we both liked getting tipsy. It was a good start.” Ha!
Down to earth
After five months of dating, the couple made their relationship official and met each other’s parents. And although the first meeting with your in-laws is always exciting, Mike didn’t have to worry about that. He immediately hit it off with his parents-in-law. And that contact has always remained good is one thing that is certain. “Zara’s mother is a legend, and her father is also very sweet. My friends always ask if I fit into the royal family, but they are all very down to earth.”
