The pair started dating after they met filming ‘Seven’ 1995 “It felt like we had been going out for what felt like a long time and I was ready to get married. “In a lot of ways, I didn’t really fully start to come into myself until I was about 40 years old,” she said, sharing that she had an issue where she felt like she constantly had to “please” other people and didn’t prioritise her own emotions.
