Meeting George Farmer: Love at First Sight in London
At 3:16:36 · chapter starts 2:57:00
In one of the episode's most charming sequences, Owens explains that she felt inexplicably pulled to go to the UK in 2018 and booked flights on Kirk's card to force a trip with no clear purpose. At a political dinner in London she arrived three hours late, looked across the table at George Farmer — who was hosting — and told her assistant he was her husband. He had texted a friend the night before saying he was going to marry Candace Owens. They barely spoke that night. He proposed via phone 18 days later, before they had kissed. Seven years, five children, and what she describes as a genuinely easy and joyful marriage later, she has no doubt the pull to London was divine.

Candace felt inexplicably pulled to go to the UK and booked flights on Charlie Kirk's card to force the trip. At a dinner in London, she met George Farmer and immediately told her assistant he was her husband. He had texted a friend the night before saying the same thing. He proposed 18 days later, before they had shared their first kiss — over the phone while he was in England. Seven years and five children later, she calls it the most obvious thing that ever happened.
