“It’s not a daily call. Sometimes it’s not a weekly or monthly or even a half-yearly call. But when you’re together, A, there’s always that I know you know,” Jackson, 46, explained.

“And B, there is, you know, these moments, like, these major moments in life are, other than your husband, there’s probably no other people in your life that you are that forged to,” he continued.

“Because you had to go through good and bad and happy and f–k you and don’t talk to me and I love you.”
