The mother-of-three disclosed on the show that many people had wondered if her marriage to Betts was a way of coming out, but for Nash, the marriage was less about gender and more about her being in love with the singer's personality.

Betts also confessed that she desired no one else after falling for the actress and the "Holding On" singer felt an attraction to Nash the moment they met.

The newlyweds also starred in the new music video for Betts' song, "Catch Me." The "Clean House" host was seen in a beautiful wedding dress while the artist was dressed in an all-black ensemble as she sang and played the guitar on the beach.

Nash admitted that it was the passionate lyrics of the song that made her aware of the feelings she had for the songwriter. The mother-of-three realized through the song that she wished to be fully accepted by someone and confessed that this was the first time in her life she felt loved, seen, and accepted.
