'He would even bring me food sometimes because I would forget to eat'
In a 2020 interview with People, the ‘Paper Hearts’ singer gushed about her husband while discussing an album launch. Kelly stressed that while "We're just enjoying being together," children will come later. Talking about how she spent the quarantine during the Corona pandemic, the ‘Dear No One’ crooner shared how Murillo cared for her while she was busy working, "Having the studio in my house has really kept me busy the whole time, just down there recording. André's been great. He would even bring me food sometimes because I would forget to eat — he'd bring me coffee."
She also added that most of their relationship days were spent in being in a long-distance relationship saying, "We were long-distance for most of our dating relationship so to basically be forced to be in the same place together for a long period of time, we couldn't really complain because we're so used to being apart," before adding, "Maybe this is our way of making up for lost time."
Speaking about her marriage, the ‘TOGETHER’ crooner said, "We can't complain," before continuing, "We're not perfect and I'd be lying if I said everything was always great and roses and butterflies, but we just work through it." "The beauty of marriage is that you're just committed to that person," added Kelly.
