Lindsay then shares that she will have been married to Abasolo for “four years in August, which is so hard to believe.”
“Six years total. Four years, almost, married,” she adds.
The attorney says that as time goes on, marriage with Abasolo is getting “easier because we just know each other and we get each other.”
“But at the same time, as much as you love each other, you also get on each other’s nerves at the same time,” she acknowledges. “But we get each other. That’s my best friend.”
