"It's funny, when I made those comments, it was really in a lighthearted, humorous way," she said. "I was surprised to see that it was taken so seriously in the press.""Gerard doesn't tell me what to do," she continued. "We discuss everything as a couple, as I imagine most partners do. We have a beautiful relationship and one of mutual trust."
