2 min readPharrell Williams, the multi-talented musician, producer, and fashion icon, is not just a prominent figure in the entertainment industry but also a devoted family man. His marriage to Helen Lasichanh, a model and designer, has been a significant part of his life. Together, they have built a family that balances the public spotlight with private moments of togetherness.
Pharrell and Helen’s relationship blossomed over time. They met in the early aughts and cultivated a friendship for two years before dating, reports People. More than five years later, they got married in October 2013. Their wedding was a star-studded affair, reflecting the “Blurred Lines” singer’s stature in the entertainment world. Helen, known for her unique fashion sense, complements Pharrell’s distinctive style. They’re one of the most stylish couples in the industry.
Pharrell often speaks about how fatherhood influences his music and outlook on life. The couple has four children: their oldest son, Rocket Ayer Williams, born in 2008, and triplets, born in January 2017. Rocket, in particular, has been a significant part of Pharrell’s life. They both share a love for skateboarding. Rocket even inspired the 51-year-old’s song “Rocket’s Theme,” featured in the soundtrack for the animated film Despicable Me.
Rocket, now 15, has been relatively shielded from the media spotlight. Pharrell and Helen consciously chose to foster a normal upbringing despite their high-profile status. However, Rocket made a rare public appearance with his parents on June 19 at the Kenzo Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show. Held in Paris, the presentation showcased the Williams family’s passion for fashion.
Pharrell, recently appointed as Louis Vuitton’s men’s creative director, has a longstanding connection with the fashion world. The “Happy” singer’s presence at the Kenzo show, alongside his family, highlighted his involvement in the industry. Rocket’s appearance at such a prestigious event indicates a potential interest in following his father’s fashionable footsteps. But only time will tell if he pursues a career in the limelight.
The Kenzo Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2025 show attracted celebrities like French actor Juliette Binoche and Colombian rapper Maluma, as well as fashion icons and industry leaders. Pharrell and Helen, known for their impeccable style, did not disappoint. Their coordinated outfits reflected a blend of contemporary chic and classic elegance. Rocket, with his youthful yet sophisticated look, captured the attention of photographers and fashion enthusiasts alike.
This public outing provided a rare glimpse into the family’s dynamics and Rocket’s emerging sense of style. It also underscored the importance of family support in Pharrell’s life as he navigates his multifaceted career. The event served as a reminder of the close-knit bond the Williams family shares and their collective appreciation for the arts and fashion.
