‘We didn’t date very long before we got married,’ the singer revealed during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Storme Warren Show.

The two-time Grammy winner, 37, went on to share how the coronavirus crisis helped her take stock on what really matters in life and love.

‘A lot of couples, especially a lot of my friends don’t really see their significant other because we’re different directions all the time,’ she said of the typical scenario for many couples.
‘But with everything that happened last year, I think everybody was forced to sort of reconnect with themselves and with people that they really love and that are close to them,’ she said.
During the interview, the Heart Like Mine star agreed that being alone in lockdown as a couple will likely defined a relationship — one way or another.
‘And I kept saying there’s gonna be a lot of engagements and babies or a lot of divorce,’ she added.

‘Backing up [a trailer is] sort of a trigger,’ she confessed.
‘That’ll be the one time you really identified as like, one person trying to back up the other person, trying to tell the other person how to back up a trailer.’
The couple celebrated their second wedding anniversary on January 26.
