The celebrity couple played a Newlyweds game on the ABC chat show, but Ali had the best reaction to them not winning, pointing out that it was in fact because they have been married for over two decades.

To mark Valentine's Day, the author posted a backstage photo of the pair of them in the Live studio, surrounded by love heart décor and confetti balloons, and wrote: "We didn’t win the Newlywed game on @livekellyandryan but that’s because we aren’t newlyweds… 20 years and going strong! Happy V day!"
