She openly said that she wanted to continue the relationship, marry, and be husband and wife like her parents, who had been ‘together for 30 years.’ Peppers openly said that he did not feel pressured to marry and was satisfied with where the pair was in their relationship.
“I enjoy where we are right now; I like the place we are in. I don’t think we should place any more pressure or expectations on it right now.”
