Hopping on to 2023, it has been 26 years since the couple got married. Throughout these years, they have worked together and have appeared at numerous events looking like a royal couple.
There have been no rumors about them splitting or getting a divorce, but the pair themselves have claimed that since they work together and have a very hectic schedule, they have had issues in their marriage.
In 2014, Daily Mail shared in an article that the couple did not sleep together and instead preferred going to a hotel during weekends to spend time together. Well, this was not because they did not love each or were planning to split but because they wanted to save their marriage.
The couple claimed that making time for themselves and having space made their relationship better and they just needed time for themselves.
One way or the other, being happily married is better than getting divorced. Good for them.
Despite being married for 26 years, the couple didn't give birth to any children for a long time. However, they took their time until they decided that they wanted children and take responsibility for parenthood. The pair gave birth to their first child, a daughter Lillian Amanda back on 10th October 2003. She is currently 20 years old.
Two years later, the pair gave birth to their second child, a son Williams Alexander on 8th June 2005. He is currently 17 years old.
Nonetheless, we hope that the couple continues their fierceness both in their career and love life.
