Maury Povich and Connie Chung never wanted marriage at the same time. The couple dished to People about their conflicting marital schedule, holding up their eventual union. “We ping-ponged,” Povich revealed. “When one wanted to get serious, the other one didn’t. At one point I proposed to her, and she said, ‘No, I’m not ready,’ and then she asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘No, I’m not ready.'” Povich proposed one last time during a vacation to Italy, but Chung still wasn’t ready, though she eventually changed her tune. “She called me and said, ‘We can get married.’ I said, ‘Really?’ She said, ‘Yes, because I found a dress,'” said Povich. Chung agreed, later calling the stipulation “embarrassing.”

A few months into their marriage, Povich and Chung spoke with The Washington Post about their bi-coastal living setup, missing Valentine’s Day, and their shared love of cooking. “We can’t possibly be together,” shared Chung. “It’s very sad, but you can bet we’ll make up for it over the weekend.” Their love-filled weekend revolved around creating one of their favorite meals of home-cooked steak and french fries. “We get the good stuff — center-cut tenderloin — and cut it into long slices,” Povich added. “Connie in her inimitable ways will only eat Wonder Bread. Wide slices, at that.”
