Amanda Holden Reveals ‘Controversial’ Marriage Secret After Separate Lives Confession
Amanda Holden, the popular judge from Britain’s Got Talent, has shared insights into her enduring marriage to Chris Hughes, a successful record producer. Married since 2008, the couple recently celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary.
A Controversial Marriage Secret
Holden revealed their “very controversial” approach to maintaining a strong partnership. She emphasized the importance of focusing on their relationship, especially as parents. “Everyone gets wrapped up with their children and their schedules,” she noted. “But you have to remember that you and your husband were together first.”
Investing in Each Other
- Amanda and Chris have been together for over 20 years.
- They share two daughters: Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13.
- The couple first met in Los Angeles in 2003.
Holden stressed that investing in their relationship benefits both their marriage and their children’s well-being. “It is incredibly important,” she added, noting that research supports this perspective.
Living Separate Lives
Despite their strong bond, Amanda acknowledged that they lead “separate lives” due to their busy careers. On Heart Radio, she explained, “Obviously, we’re very happily married, but we do lots of things separately.” Amanda enjoys activities like cycling on her Peloton and running, while Chris indulges in squash.
Quality Time Together
To foster more togetherness, Chris suggested they start playing badminton. Amanda shared her excitement about the sport during a radio segment, recalling fond summer memories. “It’s such a good game, I’ve always loved it,” she said.
The Role of Humor
Amanda previously mentioned that a good sense of humor is vital for a lasting marriage. She humorously noted how she sometimes forgets how attractive she finds Chris, even mistaking him for another handsome man in a restaurant.
