they met in 1985 their relationship was shown in the Def Leppard movie.
How she met Steve:
According to Lorelei, "I wasn't a Def leppard fan prior to meeting Steve, I didn't know them where I lived in Europe. Steve and I met through my friend, Peter Mensch, the band's manager, when he and Phil came to Paris. We met in my apartment in Paris and the four of us went to dinner together. Yes, Valerie and I both paid our own way, it was not meant to be a "date" and so we did not expect them to pay even though they were very wealthy young men at the time. We had our own careers and so we didn't need their money."
On their relationship:
"We were together nearly seven years. We had plans of getting married and having children when the Hysteria Tour ended in October of 1989, but by then his drinking had escalated to the point of no return. Steve was the love of my life and I miss him to this day."
How she heard that Steve had died:
"I was in our NY apartment waiting for him to finally get sober . I got the dreaded call from his manager, Cliff Burnstein, the morning he died. On his birthdays and on the anniversaries of his death I usually light a candle and talk to him, telling him how much I missed him."
