HuffPost
The actor is set to celebrate 20 years of marriage to Pennsylvania politician Vincent Hughes.
Actor Sheryl Lee Ralph and her husband, Pennsylvania state Sen. Vincent Hughes, may have an unconventional marriage, but it’s working for them.
In an interview released Wednesday by People, the “Abbott Elementary” star said she feels “fortunate” for her partnership with Hughes, noting that they “live in separate places.”
“The man that I am married to, Sen. Vincent Hughes, 7th Senatorial District of [Pennsylvania] ... he has his own life,” she said, beaming with pride. “I have my own life.”
After nearly 20 years of marriage, she explained how they each have a career of their own and an individual “light to stand in.”
And despite her many accolades, Ralph happily said that her husband isn’t focused on status in their relationship. “He’s doing his thing; I get to do my thing,” she noted.
