Harry Hamlin and the former "Days of Our Lives" star met at a restaurant while Rinna was working at an eyeglass store. "We met in a restaurant. She was working at an eyeglass store doing the night shift selling sunglasses. And I happened to know the owner of the store, I was having dinner with him and she came in to deliver the keys when she closed the store at 10. That's how I met her," Hamlin recalled during an appearance on "The Jess Cagle Show" (via People), adding that the pair met before her big acting break.
"It was sparks right away," Hamlin continued, telling the story of his and Lisa Rinna's first conversation. "...She said, 'Oh my God, I went to the circus last night and it was so sexy!' I'm thinking to myself, 'Wait a minute, here's this girl. She's sitting there and the elephants, right, and the clowns and all that.'"
Hamlin admitted that the only circus he'd ever been to was the Ringling Brothers, so he was rightfully confused about his future wife's enthusiasm about the circus. "But she was talking about Cirque du Soleil, which is very sexy, but I didn't know that. I had not seen Cirque du Soleil at that point, so I thought, 'If this girl can be turned on by elephant dung and whatever, I'm good with her,'" he revealed. "I was enchanted right away."
