Jason Priestley met his wife, Naomi Lowde-Priestley in 2000.
Jason and Naomi met by complete happenstance in 2000 outside the Apollo Theater, the historic West End theater in London. Jason was starring in the Apollo production of the Broadway play, Side Man. She explained on her website that the two bumped into each other while waiting for the red light to change at a crosswalk, and there was instant chemistry.
“It was truly serendipitous,” she wrote.
At the time of their meeting, Jason was actually facing jail time for a DUI. In 1998, he crashed his Porsche car into a telephone pole in Hollywood Hills. This wouldn’t be the first time that Jason found himself in an accident.
Fast forward to 2002, and Naomi would be by Jason’s side as he recovered from a near-fatal car crash during a practice session at the Kentucky Speedway.

Whether that is a 'must see' destination, traveling with your children,'must have' beauty essentials, fitness on the go, places to eat, things to make, I want to share them with you,” she wrote on her website.
