Terry Crews’ wife, Rebecca, shared that their marriage almost ended in divorce three times, but they worked through their issues after Terry decided to focus on “working on himself.”
In an interview with DailyMail.com, Rebecca, who’s been married to Terry for 35 years, spoke about how much she admires his determination but also revealed they’ve had tough times, even coming close to being homeless.
She explained that their shared faith has been important in their relationship. Even when things were difficult, they both kept trying, believing that they chose each other for a reason. Rebecca said they’ve had a few moments where they could have ended their marriage, but each time, one of them wanted to stay and worked hard to make things better.
Rebecca Crews, mother of five and the founder of a new boutique in Pasadena, shared more about her relationship with her husband, Terry. She explained that their marriage almost ended three times. The first time, she wanted out, but Terry fought to keep them together. The second time, he wanted to leave, but she fought for him. The third time, Terry had to face his addiction, and Rebecca kicked him out.
Terry begged her to stay, but Rebecca told him he’d messed up. He went to work on himself, became a better person, but Rebecca said he could still improve.
Both Terry and Rebecca have been open about their struggles, and in 2021, Terry admitted that his porn addiction nearly ruined their marriage.
When asked what makes a marriage last, Rebecca said it’s important to make sure both people are getting what they want. She knew what she wanted when she married Terry, and it turned out they shared similar goals. She warned that couples who don’t share the same dreams, like wanting children, can face big problems.
Rebecca added that even though it’s been tough, she always saw Terry as a good guy and her friend, and that helped them get through the hard times.
Rebecca Crews shared that she loved Terry as a person before she fell in love with him, and he’s still her friend. She joked that she can sometimes argue with him and then hug him right after, saying, “but you’re still my boo.”
Rebecca explained that while she holds Terry to a certain “standard,” forgiveness is important in making their relationship work. She said she often tells him, “You can do better,” and that he admits he’s not perfect. She believes forgiveness is key to staying married, but it has to be sincere. She added that you can’t just keep accepting bad behavior; sometimes you need to step back and let someone feel the consequences.
The couple, who have four daughters and a son, have been through tough times but live in Pasadena, California, and have been together for 25 years.
Rebecca Crews shared that there was a time in their lives when they were close to being homeless. They were just a week away from having to leave their place with nowhere to go when something came through for them at the last moment. They ended up moving just across the street in Burbank.
Now that all of their children have grown up and moved out, Rebecca said she and Terry have more freedom. They travel more and she can even join him while he’s working, making the empty-nester life fun. She joked that Terry can sometimes feel like another child!
With more time on her hands, Rebecca has been focusing on her clothing line. She’s grateful for the support from Terry, both financially and emotionally, and she credits him for helping her build her determination. Rebecca said it’s never too late to follow your dreams, and she now feels bolder and more confident. She even got emotional when her new store in Pasadena was opening, calling it a dream come true and seeing even bigger things ahead.
The former president Jimmy Carter lives in a house worth $210,000 and shops at the local Dollar General
On October 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. was born in Plains, Georgia. James Earl Carter Sr., his father, was a prosperous businessman who made investments in farms. Carter was born in the Wise Sanitarium, where his mother, Bessie Lilian, was employed as a nurse.
Young Carter attended the local high school from 1937 to 1941. Motivated by his father’s World War I service in the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps, he pursued his desire of serving in the armed forces and was accepted into the Naval Academy in 1943.
Carter wrote in the book What Makes a Marriage Last by Phil Donahue and Marlo Thomas that he felt an immediate connection with his wife, Rosalynn. In 1946, following Carter’s graduation from the Naval Academy, the youthful pair tied the knot. Carter gave his all to his family, which now consisted of his wife, four kids, and the family company, after leaving the Navy. He constructed a ranch-style home in Georgia in 1961 for his family; it is currently estimated to be worth $210,000. The Washington Post claims that Carter chose not to leverage his time in the White House into a financial advantage and instead returned to this house after leaving office. “I don’t see anything wrong with it, and I don’t hold it against other people,” he remarked. Simply put, I never really wanted to be wealthy. Carter had sold the peanut company and was deeply in debt, but he was able to maintain a comfortable standard of living because to his $217,000 pension.
According to data from the General Services Administration for the 2019 fiscal year, Carter spent $456,000 on expenses. This is much less than the budgets allotted for other former presidents, like George H. W. Bush, who spent $952,000, and even less than the $1 million that each of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush spent.
Furthermore, Carter has been seen often purchasing his clothing from the Dollar General store that is close by. Even when he does travel, he would rather take commercial aircraft over private ones. Following his term as president, Carter continued to teach Sunday school at a nearby Baptist church and at Emory University.
