In 2010, Harding returned to her home in Washington from a work trip in Los Angeles when she decided to visit a local restaurant, Timbers. While having a few drinks with friends, she spotted Price on the karaoke stage singing "Great Ball of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis. The former figure skater said:

"I'm going, 'Damn, he's got beautiful eyes. I mean, the eyes are the center to your soul, okay? You might have a nice butt, but I want to see the eyes."

Within weeks, Harding had proposed to Price and was pregnant with their son. During an interview, Price gushed about his famous wife and revealed, "She's kind. She's loving. She's a little rough around the edges. She's a redneck, but she's my redneck."
