“Like America and the world, we’ve started going back to the movies again,” he said. “Our romantic life has often been built around going to the movies, and that kind of dried up after COVID.”
“I think two things happened,” he continued. “One is that excitement about binge TV watching has dulled a little bit. There’s great work on television, but for a minute there, it was kind of the most urgent, exciting, creative thing that you could experience. Then COVID hit, and now we’ve just rediscovered going back to the movies at least once a week and having a date.”
According to PEOPLE, Ron met Cheryl in English class during their junior year at John Burroughs High School in Burbank, California. “I met her, and there was never anybody else,” he said.
The couple married on June 7, 1975, after spending four and a half years together. They have four children, Bryce, Paige, Jocelyn, and Reed. Ron told PEOPLE that his secret to a healthy marriage was communication and luck.
“You have to learn to communicate and have difficult conversations in constructive ways,” he said. “Beyond that, there’s an element of luck because people either grow together or they don’t, and I don’t think you can force that.”
