Tiernan and Aoki began dating when she was still a teenager and had an age gap of about 16 years. While they were dating and in the early years of their marriage, she worked at one of Aoki's companies as a creative director.

The Australian beauty has always been interested in fashion. Besides having worked as a model, she went to a fashion school to learn the management side of it. Her passion for fashion can be seen in her attendance at various fashion events and her current work as a buyer at Kirna Zabête.

Tiernan Cowling and Steve Aoki Were Engaged for 5 Years

There is more information about their wedding, which occurred on December 18, 2015, in Maui, Hawaii. Although it was supposed to be a private event, Paparazzi managed to snap several photos of the wedding. Many family and friends, including fellow DJ Diplo, attended the wedding.

After less than two years of matrimony, there were reports that they had already decided to call it quits. The unfortunate news was broken by "The Sun," whose source attributed the split to Aoki's constant touring, which heavily affected their union. Nevertheless, their separation was said to have been amicable.
