Why Ted Danson Didn't Think He Was Marriage Material When He Met Mary Steenburgen

It appears that the canoe trip created the foundation for a lasting bond, as the two have been married for 25 years. "There's no hollow in my heart where I don't love him, or where I doubt this love. There's no secret place where I say we weren't a thousand percent supposed to spend our life together," Steenburgen gushed.

The pair have also made history as the cover stars for People's first-ever Love issue — with good reason. "We met when we were 40 and 45, and we had lived a bit," the actress said to People in 2018. "We met at a time when both of us had stared down some demons within ourselves and that was lucky that we met then."

The pair have worked well together on screen as well, as People captured in photos. They joined forces in the miniseries Gulliver's Travels in the late 1990s and again in 2004's It Must Be Love, the outlet reports. Mary Steenburgen has also appeared in roles on Ted Danson's successful string of sitcoms, including The Good Place and Bored to Death. Danson has also guest-starred on her latest show, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.

To sum it up, Danson once said to ET, "I'm in love. We're in love. That handles a lot. We make each other laugh. I admire her. If I could be a woman, I'd want to be her."
