Though things are smooth sailing between the couple now, this wasn’t the case three years ago. In January of 2015, Jillian filed for divorce.
When asked about the situation in 2016, after the divorce was called off, Patrick said, “It’s always destabilizing when you’re potentially breaking up a family or you have a big section of your life that’s ending.”
However, he and Jillian were willing to put in the hard work needed to save their marriage. “Our union has to be the priority. I wasn’t prepared to give up on her and she wasn’t either. We both wanted to fight for it,” he explained.
