Eve says spending lockdown with her husband has “solidified why [she] fell in love with him”.
Eve and Maximillion Cooper
The ‘Love Is Blind’ rapper celebrated her six-year wedding anniversary with Maximillion Cooper in June, and has said spending time in quarantine with her spouse amid the coronavirus pandemic has made their romance even stronger.
She said: "Honestly, it's been really good. I have to say, I feel lucky that we're one of the couples that got out of the quarantine and was like, 'I still like you and love you' - that's a different thing. Because love is one thing, but you still gotta like the person!
"We've learned a lot of new things about each other. This is gonna sound so cheesy - and I swear I apologise because I'm not a romantic - but it has solidified why I fell in love with him. It brought us closer together, and it made me realise wow, we chose each other, and this is a great choice.”
Eve married the British entrepreneur in June 2014 after four years of dating, and has said she thought their romance would be short-lived when they first met, because Maximillion has four children from a previous relationship.
She added: "In the beginning when I first met my husband, then-boyfriend, I was like, 'This is never gonna last because you got four kids! How's this gonna work?’ But then I met the kids and honestly was like 'Wow, kids are amazing.’ ”
And as she looks ahead to 2021, Eve - who recently announced she is leaving her co-hosting position on ‘The Talk’ - said she wants the next year of her life to focus on feeling more "grounded, peaceful and happy in the decisions that I've made.”
Speaking to People magazine, she said: "I think also I realised that stopping is okay. I hold onto that, and I hope that other people hold onto that too. I think we all just got used to being crazy-busy all the time. Just take some time for yourself, an hour a day, it could be a week if you're lucky enough, but take care of yourself and your mind."
