Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph and her husband Senator Vincent Hughes are planning on a new situationship in their 20-year marriage. They’re moving in together, according to ET.
If you’re scratching your head wondering how they are not already living together, just know the bi-coastal relationship between the two has been working famously.
Lee Ralph is a busy and in-demand actress who lives in Los Angeles while Hughes is an esteemed senator in Pennsylvania. The two married in 2005.
It seems the distance would complicate the relationship but 20 years in, they’ve been making it work for the better.
During an interview Lee Ralph, 66, spoke about the secret to their longevity and admitted:
“We don’t live together!” she said laughing.
“I see him every two weeks. And when I see him, I’m so happy to see him, and then when I’m leaving, I’m so happy to leave because I know I’ll be back again! Yeah, it works!”
“You have to have an incredible amount of trust in that other person. We spend a lot of time talking to each other. But if [Vincent] doesn’t see me every two weeks, he gets a little nervous.”
Although Lee Ralph’s primary residence is in Cali, she plans on settling in Philadelphia with Hughes.
