We had the exact same taste in music.

“We had the same taste in whiskey and tequilas and I was really blown away by him just as a person and all I knew was that I wanted more."

In a previous interview with Glamour magazine, Sarah Shahi said: “Everything that I've learned, the culmination of my ups, my downs and mistakes has definitely impacted my relationship with Adam. We're both very sort of tight-lipped in terms of what we want to say about each other because as much as we are tickled by the idea that people are interested in us, there's a lot that we want to say for ourselves.

“But we were both ready for each other when we found each other. I'm very proud to be his partner. I'm proud to be seen next to him on screen and off.”
