She first met Windsor at a birthday party for one of Britton’s “dear friends.” However, it wasn’t until later that they actually communicated.
“When I walked into his party, I was like, ‘Oh my god, I don’t know anyone at this party.’ But I was like, ‘Okay, I just want to celebrate him.’ It’s his 50th birthday,” she explained. “So, I was talking to a friend and he looked past me and saw David across the room. And he was like, ‘There’s someone here I need to meet.’
She continued, “I was like, ‘Oh, I want to meet him.'” And we never actually met that night. Because, you know, it was a sit-down dinner at separate tables. My friend was like, “Wait, wait, wait.” I wanted to introduce you to David! ” I’m like, “Let’s get him to send me an email.” ”
