The actress has also spoken in the past about finding love with Daniel and admitted she never thought she would get married until she met him.
She told ES Magazine: "I never thought I would get married. It was not an ambition of mine. It was the opposite. I couldn't relate to romantic comedies - marriage seems to be the whole point of them. Then it just happened, happily, at a more mature moment."
