Terry Crews & Rebecca King-Crews Reveal Secret to 36-Year Marriage

Terry Crews and Rebecca King-Crews have the tools for an everlasting love.

The America’s Got Talent host and his wife, who marked their 36th wedding anniversary in July, revealed how they found the keys to success decades after saying “I do.” 

“Love is a skill, something you have to work at every day,” Terry told E! News Oct. 4 while on the red carpet with Rebecca at the Sense of Home 10th anniversary gala. “It’s something a lot of people feel like it’s automatic. It’s either [you] have it or you don’t. But no, you can get better and better at it, and we did.”

For Rebecca—who shares kids Naomi, 36, Azriél, 34, Tera, 26, Winnie, 22, and Isaiah, 20, with Terry—there’s one word that she and her husband have kept in rotation through all their ups and downs.

“I always say the F word: Forgiveness,” she explained during the joint interview. “You have to forgive. You have to let things go, or you end up with this wall of resentment between you. Then people go, ‘Wow, I thought they were great,’ And then 20 years, they break up.”
