"It's like we were in eight days of bliss," Davis gushed."You know, you work on these things all the time and you never think you're gonna get that."Despite being a real-life married couple, David and Tennon still got their own separate trailers on set -- though Tennon was quick to admit his EGOT-winning wife's trailer was bigger.
"Seeing his mama, speaking to his mama, that is a formidable woman," Davis said before noting Deloris' charitable work in America and abroad."I mean, she heads the Michael Jordan Foundation, what she's doing in Kenya... that woman is zen neutrality, solid."
