Dan Reynolds is providing a glimpse into the text exchange that changed everything.
The Imagine Dragons vocalist shared a TikTok video on Thursday (March 11), in which he revealed the text message he got from wife Aja Volkman that helped to repair their relationship.
In the clip, he revealed that he and his wife "hadn't talked in seven months" and he was "driving to the lawyer's office to sign the divorce papers," when he received a message from her "that turned my perspective upside down."
"She said she didn't need to own me to love me. She loved me without expectations."
He said they then "ditched the lawyers and went to lunch."
"It felt like the first date again. We called off the divorce," he went on to say.
"Then this guy came around," he added of son Valentine. The two are also parents to twin daughters, Gia James and Coco Rae, as well as daughter Arrow Eve.
"I wrote this song after I got that text," he said, referring to the Imagine Dragons song "Follow You."
"have you ever gotten a text that changed your life?" he captioned the post.
Late last year, he opened up about his medical diagnosis.

Dan Reynolds is getting candid.
The 33-year-old Imagine Dragons frontman is opening up about his battle with chronic pain due to ankylosing spondylitis in an interview with Us Magazine.
“It got to a point where I couldn’t perform. I could hardly get out of bed. I went to different doctors and they didn’t know what was going on, or they thought they knew what was going on and they’d misdiagnosed me … until I finally saw rheumatologists who diagnosed me with ankylosing spondylitis — or AS — and put me on the road to recovery and really changed my whole life for the better," he explained.
“It’s a battle that I have every day when I wake up. But I have a treatment plan, I have people on my side. I have a community behind me," he continued.
"I still have flareups here and there, but I have a plan of action," he added.
He also talked about partnering with the Monster Pain in the AS campaign.
"It's such a mouthful, and it just sounds so intimidating...millions of people are suffering from it. The whole goal is this catchy slogan, kind of tongue in cheek, to bring it to the mainstream, so when people go to the doctor, they might have an idea."
Another star revealed she is suffering with chronic pain.
Imagine Dragons singer Dan Reynolds is responding to criticism of his band's placement on Billboard's Rock Songs of the Decade chart.
The group took the top three spots on the chart and some music fans were annoyed because they don't consider Imagine Dragons a rock band.
"got on twitter to find all the slander and all the love. thank you for the love and yea I’d probably be mad if it wasn’t my band but it is my band hahahahahahbaba," Dan wrote on his Twitter.
Dan later added, "and in all serious. thank you so much. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to have spent the last decade writing this music and sharing it w you. it all comes from a real place and it always will. the world can debate what genre it belongs in. that’s not my concern."

The song was co-written by Yungblud and Dan.
“This song is about accepting the parts of yourself that you hate and realizing your biggest superpower is to be originally, authentically yourself. Working with Dan Reynolds was such a dream come true as he is a huge inspiration for me. The song literally came out of the studio within a day. The mutual raw energy between us made this song what it is," Yungblud explained.
