Mahershala Ali and Amatus Sami-Karim have been married since 2013, but as a couple they go way, way back –- they actually met when both were NYU students. Sami-Karim made quite an impression on her future husband, who later recalled for WYNC's Death, Sex, & Money podcast that he found her "extraordinarily intelligent...about the right things, spiritually grounded, a beautiful person" (via ABC News). In fact, she inspired him to convert to Islam by bringing him to a mosque to attend a prayer service along with her mother. Ali described the experience as transformative, saying "I just had this really strong response where this prayer is resonating in my body, and I'm, like, crying...Long story short, I converted that day."
