Kevin and Kyra have been married since 1988

"I was 21 when I met him, 23 when we got married. If someone had told me when I was 21 that I was going to be married and have a kid by 23, I would have told them they were out of their minds because I was very ambitious, I was very independent."

Recently, Kevin made a surprise revelation about his proposal when he appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in April this year.

He admitted that his now-wife "broke down in tears" when he popped the question because she didn't like the ring. "I didn't tell friends or family, so I had to go out and find this ring by myself," he explained.
