People thought well, two celebrities who are in the same business, they won’t last…I’m invested in this family, this is what I want for myself, and no offense to anything else in my past, but I get it, I get it now and this is what I want. So we just earn it. Day by day.

The couple reportedly also mentioned that the secret to making their now 19-year marriage work is that they do everything together. From domestic and leisure activities to work and charity, the couple have done everything together.
