The couple then said that they salvaged their marriage through hard work and couples therapy. They mentioned in a statement,

“We both woke up and realized we love each other and decided we want to stay together. We both went into couples therapy something we haven’t done in 22 years of being together, and it’s brought us closer together and really opened up our communication in amazing ways.”
