Kristian’s Marriage to Husband Abri Van Straten
The story of Kristina how she met her husband and what happened below:
When a woman decides she is sick and tired of being single, it’s probably best just to get out of her way. But “True Blood” star Kristin Bauer van Straten freely admits to Zap2it that she broke up in the process of falling in love with South African musician Abri van Straten.
The actress already had tried Match.com (“It felt like a bar for people over 30.”) and eHarmony and says,
“They wanted to match me with someone who was just like me, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s not going to go well. I’d kill that person.”
She even allowed her friends to set her up on blind dates, which went worst of all.
The prospect of spending yet another holiday season as the only single adult at her family’s Christmas table finally pushed her to take matters in hand. This made her hurry to get married.
She said,
“The girl sitting next to it said, ‘Oh, yes, please sit down, it’s just my favorite CD. She started going on and on about this South African band called The Lemmings, which were on tour in L.A. After a while I was interested enough to at least look at the cover and thought, ‘Hmmm, that guy is cute, why don’t I date him?’ “
She was so impressed with Abri’s voice that she went home and downloaded the band’s record Imperceptible Shift in the Light to her iPod. After listening to his songs, she became a fan of Van Straten’s vocals.
She made her family also hear his songs and they all loved the album during their holiday gathering. Bauer went online looking for more information about The Lemmings and says,
“Pretty soon I was in Stalkerville. I thought, ‘I’m on “True Blood,” dammit, why can’t I just send him an e-mail and ask if he wants to have coffee?’ Of course, he never had heard of ‘True Blood,’ but he liked my voice on the phone, so we went for coffee on January 14, two and a half years ago, and we were there for 12 hours. We met again for coffee four days later and then got married six months later.”

Meanwhile, Abri’s bandmates were to leave South Africa, since their tour ended just two weeks after she sent him the first, fateful e-mail,
“It’s been quite an adjustment for him to move to a whole new country when he hadn’t planned on it. I was telling people, ‘Oh, my God, I am the Yoko of The Lemmings,’ and I am because he is having to embark on a solo career here, which is a little easier than it may sound because he wrote all the music. He didn’t have writing partners. Actually, he was waiting for the right new band to happen and now it has. He’s met a Swedish drummer and a bass player here and they are playing around L.A. and he did a solo record last year. So he’s meeting people and doing stuff and it’s going well.”
