The hurdles we had to overcome to become a couple and the small gestures we pay attention to every day to keep our love alive.
You decide who wins $20,000 and appears in Variety magazine as America’s Favorite Couple
Dancing tango, we reluctantly fell in love 1 "tanda" at a time over nearly 5 years. However, we kept our distance because I was married and Scott was in a serious relationship. Then, I made a short film about tango and cast Scott as my co-protagonist. After months of rehearsals and the further deterioration of our relationships, it became impossible to deny that we belonged to each other. That was 7 years ago when we decided to take a leap of faith into the unknown, despite societal expectations
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?It’s hard to choose just one memorable moment, but the standout was my trip to Montreal to visit a mutual friend. I had planned it before we started dating and invited Scott, but he said he couldn’t come. So, I was completely shocked when I arrived at the airport and saw him waiting for me with balloons and flowers! He surprised me again later when he picked me up from MIA, having rented a car just to drive me home in the same car I had parked. No one had ever treated me with such care and love.
What would you do with $20,000?Make a movie :)
