On the early days of their courtship: "[I] couldn't take him seriously . . . he finally wore me down. It was very When Harry Met Sally. One day I just thought, Oh, I guess you could be an option."
On how they keep the marriage happy: "If you have good, effective, honest communication, you can handle any issue or problem in a relationship. D is literally my best friend. We really, really enjoy spending time with each other more than anybody else. Well, with D, maybe I'm tied with LeBron! But I'm definitely his favorite female! If you have the chance to marry your best friend, I Would Highly Recommend it."
On why they decided to tie the k**t: "D and I could have gone on for a long time as boyfriend and girlfriend, but the kids were the driving force in wanting us to be a legitimate, like, 'real' - and I'm using my finger quotes - family in their eyes. We got on board with it, and it's the best decision we could have made - **t just for us as a couple, but for our family."
On how they deal with disciplining the kids: "We literally keep track," she says. "There's basically an imaginary chart: 'I was bad cop last time; **w it's your turn. You have to be the jerk who doles out punishment for missed homework assignments or talking on the phone after curfew.' With the older boys, they come to me with girl stuff, homework. Or if they're trying to butter up Dad, they definitely come to me to soften me up first. I'm the line of defense, I guess, before Dad."
On what Dwyane thinks of her: "He appreciates my independence, and my high credit score, and the fact that if I want a Chanel bag, I'm **t asking for his Amex; I've got my own."
