“We’re both very independent people who run our own ships,” she said. “Sometimes when two people are driving two big ships it can be difficult.”
However, she said their marriage is “better now than ever.”
“I was always the person in relationships when things got difficult I was really happy to just bail,” she admitted. “I was good at that. So in this situation, that’s not an option because this is the love of my life, so you sit down and talk it through, and that gets you better when you get to the other side.”
