ENDURING LOVE

Since 1990, Henchy has been a prominent screenwriter, writing for comedy shows such as "Campus Cops" and MTV's "The Larry Sanders Show."

His first big break was when he created and produced the television series "Battery Park" in 2002. As the years went by, he became an accomplished professional in his chosen field.

LITTLE SPACE IS KEY

While going about in his career, he eventually met Shields on a TV set in 1999. They tied the knot in April 2001.

The 'Blue Lagoon' star said having a "little space" is a key for a long-lasting marriage. Shields is grateful for Henchy for giving a healthy space in their relationship, as reported by Closer Weekly.

Just like the rest of the world, the couple is practicing home isolation in line with the coronavirus pandemic.

SOURCE OF COMFORT

She recalled a time where she asked Henchy for a company amid their busy calendars. Without any questions, the couple spent quiet time together over coffee. "He got the paper, and we went and sat out. It maybe lasted 45 minutes!" Shields said.

Just like the rest of the world, the couple is practicing home isolation in line with the coronavirus pandemic. The crisis made Shields admire her husband even more deeply.

Family time and romantic moments by their house porch became more meaningful for Shields. She said Henchy has been her source of comfort.

"Everybody finds comfort in the arms of the person who keeps you safe. Stay home," Shields said in a social media post.

Shields has had other life-changing experiences. When she was young, she would protect her mother from criticisms about her allegedly questionable parenting choices.
