Shaunie said they first came together through a mutual friend and hit it off after an impromptu date in 2020. Henderson invited her to watch him preach in San Bernardino, but it was too far of a drive for her. So they met up at his hotel lobby in LA and went down to a restaurant to grab a bite.

“We had this great conversation that ended up being five or six hours to where we got kicked out of the regular restaurant into the lobby,” she said. Shaunie also described how she had a “test” for Keion to see if he will judge her.

Shaunie said she likes a drink every now and then and ordered two cocktails to see if the pastor would judge her. But Keion wasn’t judgmental, and the two began to forge a connection.

Since Shaunie’s wedding with Keion Henderson, the couple has been quite open about their relationship. Both have frequently shared that it is due to their continuous efforts that their relationship remains exciting and fresh. Not only this, but the couple also works on discovering ways to enjoy each other’s company.

And look forward to you challenging me to do things, to say things, to share things, to feel things that I never felt, so that was super important to me.” Shaunie and her husband seem to have found the perfect match in each other.
