Campbell and Jett Puckett tied the knot in April 2018.

As for how the name "Pookie" came to light, Jett exclusively admits to OK! he "can't remember" a specific time when he started referring to his wife by the sweet pet name.

"I think I wanted a nickname," Campbell recalls, as Jett says he "somehow came up with Pookie" and it's "always been Pookie" ever since.

The spouses' love story began roughly nine years ago, when Jett "was in business school and law school in Philadelphia" and Campbell "was a flight attendant."

"I was 25, she was 23. We met at a wine bar in Philadelphia," Jett details. "I just walked up to the prettiest girl at the wine bar [and] started talking to her. It was a classic love at first sight. We were inseparable, really, from that moment forward. I bought the engagement ring six months later."

Campbell confesses, "We moved really fast, but I think we both knew what it was really early on. We moved in together after a few months. We really are each other's best friend. We love being together, as cliché as that sounds. We love doing everything together."

"I love that they've involved their [significant others]. Sylvester Stallone did one recently with his wife [Jennifer Flavin]. It's crazy to me that they even thought about doing it," Campbell adds.
