Bathé and Brown’s life together started in the fall of 1994, when they met at Stanford University and became friends. After a decade-long on-again, off-again romance, they cemented their relationship in 2004 and tied the knot two years later. The pair then welcomed son Andrew in 2011 followed by his younger brother Amaré in 2015.
As Brown and Bathé continue to grow as a couple, they’re taking their fans along for the ride—sharing how they can disagree and still love each other on their podcast (with new episodes dropping Wednesdays).
“Anybody’s relationship from the outside can appear to be ‘perfect,’ ‘goals,’ et cetera, et cetera,” the Emmy winner noted. “I think Ryan and I were interested in, ‘Listen, there is effort that is extended on a daily basis to ensure that we keep choosing each other. Sometimes it can look messy, sometimes it can be a bit more fluid. There’s ebbs and flows, crests and troughs to the whole thing.’”
And Brown hopes this gives listeners a “full picture” of who he and Bathé are as a couple.
“If people wanted to give us goals for anything,” he continued, “then hopefully they get the chance to peek behind the veil a little bit and be like, ‘Oh, OK. It is goals, but it is also work.'”
