Around five years ago, the duo celebrated their second wedding anniversary, despite being advised by everyone to stay at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as per E! News. Tori Kelly appeared for an interview with the outlet to reveal the details of her new music alongside the anniversary.

Kelly said during the conversation that she and Murillo are still learning a lot of things, and added:

“I will say though that it’s just, like so beautiful, I think, to just be able to learn and grow together. I think commitment is just such a beautiful thing. Because it’s like you’re accepting all of a person; the good or the bad. And when you get through those rough times, it just becomes even more beautiful.”
