The celebrity couple attended JLGB Virtual's incredible interactive online event on Thursday evening, where they told the secret to their happy marriage.

Jamie had the best answer, responding: "Don't leave. That's really it – two words. Because you will want to. If you're telling me anybody who's married for a long time hasn't thought 'I hate them, I want out,' of course they have! I believe if you stay on the bus long enough, the scenery will change!"

Jamie and Christopher Guest took part in a JLB's Virtual event

During the pandemic, Jamie and Christopher have been enjoying spending quality time together, and the Halloween actress believes that the coronavirus crisis will bring everyone closer together.

She told "I think Covid is going to bring us all together. We will get through it. "No one says it’s not going to be difficult. 'Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says something different is selling something' is my favourite line from the Princess Bride and I believe that!

"Life is painful, it is the nature of it. And I do believe we will get through it." Christopher, meanwhile, opened up about how he was making sure he stayed positive during the uncertain times.

"I love to be in nature and I hike and I ski. But I also think it’s important for people to get away from all the incessant bad news.

The celebrity couple have been married since 1984

"Not to put your head in the sand but also to give yourself the chance and the time to breathe. I think that’s very important so you’re not consumed by what’s going on.

"I think you need a balance in your life so that you’re not driven completely crazy!"
