Back in January, Kevin and Kyra celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary and a short time later, she opened up about their long-standing marriage. "Honestly, we just got lucky, there's no secret, we just got so lucky when we were so young," the 55-year-old shared.

"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.

"And then suddenly I met this person, and it was like well this was it. And I was so young and so dumb, and I can’t believe I was smart enough to do that," she said. "No one is smart when they’re 21. We’re just really lucky, and it’s not hard."
