They knew each other at school, but they weren't great friends. Tuomas' mother used to teach Tarja piano & that's how they knew one another. As she was one of the few girls in the school, her singing efforts were always encouraged, hence why Tuomas remembered her for when he wanted his own band with female vocals.
But I guess towards the end their relationship was dwindling, Tarja had to finish her studies (she got properly trained in classical singing) & I guess she needed to spend time with her husband too. *shrugs shoulders* from what I know I guess other factors were driving them apart.
