Alex and Simon met on the dating website, matchmaker.com, 13 years ago — and they got married one year and one day later.
The 38-year-old former reality star says “He was never going to get married again and I was never going to get married at all.” But, the New York businesswoman said things changed because “we turned each others world’s upside down.”
“One of the things I love about Simon is that we’ve grown and changed — we’ve grown together not apart. And, we never take each other for granted,” she tells RumorFix exclusively.
The key to a happy marriage, she says, “is you need to be partners and you need to make yourself open to that person.”
Happy Anniversary!
