Back in 2008, Jennie spoke with OK! about how the little things were what made their marriage last.
"Today I went to Coffee Bean and got him a drink — just keeping your partner in mind," she explained to OK!. "In this industry, there's always going to be someone more beautiful out there. It's easy to be tempted."
"I'm not interested in taking the easy way out," Jennie added. "Divorce is not an option for us. I want to be with my family."
