They have five children together.The 'White Chicks' star added that love isn't just about feelings.'It's work. It's really work. You have to get better at it, it's a skill,' Crews said. 'There's a lot of things I had to relearn.'He says he thinks of him and his wife as a 'testament' to the fact that two people can make a relationship work as long as they are both willing to tough it out.'It's wild because there was a point when, when I wanted to quit, she didn't want to, and then when she wanted to quit, I didn't want to,' he said. 'And I was just glad we didn't want to quit at the same time.'This isn't the first time that Crews has spoken about the challenges he faced in his marriage.Crews shared how his past infidelity and porn addiction had affected his family during an episode of Dax Shepard's'Armchair Expert' podcast in 2023.Crews said he would 'start an argument' with his wife whenever she tried to ask him questions about where he was when he was feeding his porn addiction at adult bookstores near truck stops. He would also 'be angry' at his kids 'for getting in the way.'He also said he cheated on his wife by getting a handjob in a massage parlor while filming his first-ever movie in 2000, and 'kept that secret for years.'He eventually decided to confess to his wife about the cheating a decade later when he began seeking help for his porn addiction. Although she left him at that time, they eventually reconciled after Crews went to rehab.Crews and his wife aren't the only celebrities who have spoken about the steps they take to build and maintain a healthy relationship.Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey don't go more than two weeks without seeing each other and their family.Rob Lowe, who has been married to Sheryl Berkoff for over 30 years, said they go to couples therapy regularly because 'it's like taking your car in and making sure the engine's running great.'Barbara Grossman, a couples counselor, previously told Business Insider that her tips for a successful marriage include sharing emotional baggage, carving time out to be together, and actively communicating grievances.'I encourage people to talk about their past because it usually reveals the historical reasons for their behavior, opinions, and attitudes,' Grossman said. 'If you open up about situations — including unresolved feelings toward a family member, friend, or lover — it develops understanding, trust, and connection.'A representative for Crews did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.
