In her interviews, Julie never stopped telling about her love for her husband. Besides, she confessed, that they had been “too tired” to start a divorce process.

Nevertheless, in 2018 Scott and Julie applied for divorce. That was the end of their happy marriage, which started on September 9, 2004. “At first I loved my husband, then I loved our children, and finally I loved our family”, Julie told happily in her interviews.
