this is so a++, and it looks like her first album came out the same year his band's first ep did, so there definitely could have been some initial bonding about the intersection of creativity and fame that led to them getting together once they met. he would have been fascinated by the way she approached things, but the absolute whirlwind of both of their careers and the distance definitely would have gotten in the way. he'll have such a sense of pride in her for all of her growth.
