We were married for 20 years, divorced, and years later, life brought us back together.
We would like to thank you for supporting Stephen Sproul in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Stephen and I met on a “blind-ish” date in 1992 and felt an instant connection. We married quickly, built businesses, raised a family—but lost our footing along the way. After 20 years, we divorced yet stayed under one roof to co-parent. Years later, after growth and healing, we found our way back to each other. Our love story is one of timing, resilience, and choosing each other all over again—with more heart and clarity than ever before.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is getting remarried on New Year’s Eve, surrounded by our three kids. We exchanged vows by the water, just moments before midnight, stepping into the new year as a renewed family. It was intimate, emotional, and filled with love—a full-circle moment that marked not just a new chapter in our relationship, but a celebration of growth, forgiveness, and choosing each other all over again.
What would you do with $20,000?We’ve never taken a honeymoon. We became parents at 22 and life moved quickly. When we remarried, COVID was around the corner. Now, after all we’ve been through, we’d love the chance to finally celebrate our love and take the honeymoon we’ve waited so long for—a meaningful, joy-filled trip that honors our journey and the life we’ve rebuilt together.
