As for the mother-in-law advice the journalist asked for, fans had that covered too. “Love him like he is your child. The best way to take good care of her is to love him,” one follower wrote.
“Doing the opposite of my mother in law is my plan when my kids marry. Be respectful of the couple, always find a compromise, have favorite foods when they visit, listen to their needs and express yours as well, and offer help, don’t insist on one way to do things,” another added.
Kirby and Virgil got engaged in February 2019. Congrats to the newly married couple!
