In a tear-jerking moment, he told her onstage at the Golden 1 Center: "You are the light in the darkness for me."

David - who has 11-year-old son, Samuel, with his first wife, Lena Yada - invited his partner to join him onstage.

He then paid a touching tribute to the model: “Sarah, my love, you have made my life so much better. You are the light in the darkness for me. I love you more than anything I have ever loved in this world, and it would be the absolute pinnacle of my life and my existence…”

She agreed and was seen wiping her happy tears away. The couple made their romance Instagram official in January 2024, with David penning alongside a picture of the pair: “She completes me. [red love heart] My goddess."

The 'Down with the Sickness' rockers are currently on a 25th anniversary tour for their debut studio album, 'The Sickness'.
