Celebrity romances are not often the longest-lived in history. At times, we may even begin wondering how long it will last before they even say ‘I do.’
On the other hand, there are times when a celebrity romance may stand the test of time. That is the case with Harry Connick Junior and his wife, Jill Goodacre Connick. They even have rules established that help them to stay together.
The rules really aren’t anything all that unusual, but they also admit that they are not going to work for everyone. They try to keep things simple, and they do it in the following.
When Harry was giving an interview, he admitted: “We trust each other, we love each other, we communicate. But when you say it’s a rule, it’s almost like we got to adhere to this. We don’t really roll like that.
“We just wake up every day, and we’re thankful for each other and try to be good parents and good spouses to one another.”
It’s amazing to think that he and his wife are now celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary this year. Not only have they been together for a long time, they continue to have a very strong relationship.
There are three daughters, Gloria, Kate, and Charlotte are all in their 20s at this time. They try to focus on each other and they focus on their children as well.
Of course, Harry has some advice for everyone and it’s the fact that it is different for different people. He said: “Certain things that work for us may not work for other people, but we’re not too big on rules.”
He also doesn’t want to give his daughters too much advice on their future partners.
“I think that we’ve tried to lead by example … I’m not an advice giver,” he said. “‘Hey, what do you think about this?’ I might tell them, but I’ve always found that giving advice, especially unsolicited advice, tends to make people shy away.”
Harry and Jill raised their daughters to have self-worth and to make good decisions. He is hopeful that they will live their lives in a way that leads them to success.
Of course, he will always be there for them and although he thinks they will make good decisions, he admits the following: “So, if they need us, they’ll come [to us]. But, it’s not like, ‘Make sure you communicate,’ or, ‘Find someone you can always laugh with.’ That’s just not my thing.”
