im Abou-Nasr just spilled the charming origin story of his romance with Paige Howard and it involves an acting class, zero clue about her A-list family, and a rehearsal that never happened. The 37-year-old actor revealed, how he met director Ron Howard’s daughter eight years ago, confessing: “I came over to rehearse a love scene… and we never got to the scene. The rest is history.”
The Unplanned “Meet-Cute”
During a year-long acting conservatory, Tim bonded with Paige, 40, in their 16-person class. When they paired up to rehearse at her apartment, romance instantly overruled work. “It was a true meet-cute,” he laughs. Even more surprising? Tim had no idea she was part of Hollywood royalty. “We were well into class before I found out her dad was Ron Howard and her sister was Bryce Dallas Howard,” he admits. His reaction? “I liked her so much, I didn’t care.”
Pandemic Love & a Central Park Wedding
Their original 2020 wedding plans collapsed due to COVID, but the delay sparked unexpected magic. “We moved in right before lockdown,” Tim recalls. “It felt like a romantic sleepover on our own island — tragic times, but so much fun.” Two years later, they married intimately in Central Park with Ron officiating and Bryce as bridesmaid. “Just our families, no overwhelm,” says Tim. “We’re grateful for that forced time together before marrying.”
