"My husband Ryan has been an emotional backbone for the last three years," she told a news outlet, referring to her partner, Ryan Scott Anderson, 37, who she met in 2020 after he wrote her a letter. "We met when the pandemic was really, really strong and I had a lot of emotional ups and downs because of COVID."

"Ryan has seen me through some really good times, some really hard times," she added. "I would say that he is probably the most compassionate soul that I've ever met, and the most patient. God knows, he's so patient with me, because I could be a lot to handle. I could be an emotional handful."
