During their time together, they’ve welcomed two sons Liam and Kingston, with Paul often offering fans a glimpse into family life with some sweet snaps on Instagram. Jill is also a marriage advice guru and spends time home schooling their two sons.
Paul, who has been married for 21 years, told fans that marriage is about “growing” and having the support of family and friends.
He gushed on Instagram: “I believe a marriage is not simply between two individuals but between two families, surrounded by a larger group of friends and other people you allow into your life. If all of those groups are supportive, the marriage stands a better chance of growing.”

“In the last decade I see a therapist once every week but when the show is running, I see my therapist twice.”
He cites the pressure of guiding couples through “the biggest commitment that you can make in life” and dealing with the “hypersensitivity” of the contestants and topics at hand.
“That’s [marriage] the highest commitment that you can make in life, in my opinion, that’s the biggest decision that you can make in life that dictates everything else – happiness, how long you live, etc.
“So we’re dealing with this hypersensitivity around this very, very important question.
