She stated I think when you start a young family and have children, and then set up this family tree branch to continue the tradition of your family; it's clearly a wonderful commitment. It's meaningful. It hasn't yet been for us, however.

He is a constant source of laughter for me. He is full of life and joy. He attracted me, and I am still attracted to him. We continue to take things day by day, and I believe we are still there.

Derek said last year that "my gosh, we don't have typical" to Us magazine. We travel so our date nights are often where we meet up somewhere else.

London was stunning.
