More About The Couple's Love Story
Terry and Rebecca first met at Western Michigan University in the 1980s before the actor's NFL career skyrocketed him into stardom. Although they crossed paths in college, their relationship almost remained platonic, with Rebecca once revealing her husband was 'a little too nice.'
Fortunately, they became college sweethearts and tied the knot on July 29, 1989, after dating for a few years. PEOPLE reported they celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with a big bash in 2019. The lavish affair occurred at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, California, with multiple stars in attendance.
Terry revealed in 2024 that Rebecca suffered three miscarriages during their efforts to start a family. They eventually welcomed four children, daughters Azriél, Tera, and Wynfrey, and son Isaiah. The entertainer also adopted Rebecca's daughter, Naomi, from a previous relationship.
The 'America's Got Talent' Host's Marriage Nearly Ended After Twenty Years
Early this year, Terry opened up about his longtime marriage to Rebecca and how they nearly separated after twenty years. He declared 'it was over' during that challenging point of their love life; however, they managed to rebuild their broken bond.
'We decided we were going to be stronger together. It was a decision that we decided to make,' Terry explained. He credited their unrelenting dedication and hard work for their decades-long marriage, noting that most people thought love was enough to withstand the test of time.
'It's work. It's work. It's really work. You have to get better at it, it's a skill. There's a lot of things I had to relearn,' Terry claimed. He added that sometimes he wanted to quit, but Rebecca wouldn't give up on their marriage, and vice versa. Thanks to their persevering spirit, the Crews remain unshakable.
Terry Crews Got Candid About His Toxic Side In A Memoir
Terry has never shied away from addressing his faults and did so in 2022 by releasing the memoir 'Tough.' The Blast covered the story, reporting that the book followed his 2014 hit "Manhood: How to Be a Better Man — Or Just Live with One."
Like the first book, the TV personality dived into the toxic traits men embodied and how he once believed these behaviors showcased his masculinity. 'As a former, what I would call, 'toxic male' — that term 'toxic masculinity' has been used a lot, and it's actually been misused,' Terry said in an interview.
'The term I really love right now is just 'abuse of power' — and that really, really resonated with who I was; but then people just had more questions about how this goes down and what forms this, and how do you get control of this?' Terry added.
He noted these frequent queries inspired him to write the memoir to help other men heal.
Here's to hoping Terry Crews spends more blissful years with his family!
