Emma Willis Opens Up About Strengthened Marriage

Matt and Emma Willis have opened up about how therapy has significantly strengthened their marriage, which began in 2008. The couple faced challenges, particularly due to Matt's past struggles with addiction. However, they emphasized that their decision to seek therapy was proactive rather than reactive. Emma shared on the NewlyWeds podcast that they sought help not because their relationship was in crisis, but to address specific misunderstandings. “We were like, sh**, there’s a couple of sticking points here that we can’t understand each other’s viewpoints on,” she explained. Emma described the therapy experience as a “massive game changer” for their relationship. Initially, she was hesitant about the need for therapy, believing she was fine. It was Matt who suggested they try it, highlighting his willingness to confront issues head-on. This openness has allowed them to navigate their differences more effectively, reinforcing their bond. In addition to discussing their therapy journey, the couple reflected on their early relationship, revealing that Emma was not initially a fan of Matt's pop-punk band, Busted. She admitted that her feelings changed as she got to know him better. Their romantic history also includes a memorable proposal in Venice, which Emma humorously recounted, expressing her surprise and embarrassment at the public setting. Currently, the couple is co-hosting the dating show "Love is Blind" on Netflix, showcasing their enduring partnership and commitment to personal growth.
