In a recent interview, Gwen Everly opened up about her unique living arrangement with her husband, Max Harper. The couple only resides together part-time, which they believe has contributed positively to their marriage. Both Gwen and Max have separate homes and typically spend four nights a week together. Max stays at his own place when his teenage kids, Liam and Emma, are with him.
Gwen revealed that their intimacy coach suggested this arrangement fosters “polarity,” which keeps the relationship vibrant. “All my married friends think our setup is ideal and advise us not to change a thing,” Gwen said.
While having multiple homes may be a luxury most can’t afford, the idea of maintaining a healthy distance in a relationship is certainly intriguing. We often hear about couples with separate bedrooms or personal spaces, so perhaps Gwen’s situation is simply a more elevated version of that concept.
Co-Parenting Challenges
In a previous interview with the Wall Street Journal, Gwen explained that one of the main reasons for their separate residences is their teenage children. They wanted to avoid upheaving their kids’ lives by making them cohabit with new siblings. “With teenagers, you have to be careful. It can get intense,” she remarked.
Co-parenting Max’s kids alongside her own, Ava and Noah, hasn’t been without challenges. “Navigating this dynamic can be tricky, especially with two teenage girls involved,” she admitted. However, Gwen believes that everyone ultimately seeks love and acceptance. “My stepson had a rough start, but now we share our own special bond,” she noted.
Their Love Story
Gwen and Max tied the knot on September 29, 2018, at a cozy ceremony in her East Hampton home. They first crossed paths in 2010 when Gwen guest-starred on a show Max produced but didn’t start dating until 2014, after her split from ex-husband Chris. Their honeymoon even included both sets of kids and Gwen’s ex, showing that their blended family arrangement is working well.
