In 2020, Bill opened up about the secret to his long-lasting marriage. “I think it’s putting our hands in the dirt; it’s parallel play of digging and planting. We spend a lot of time outdoors together. A lot of time at the ranch, so we enjoy those similar things,” the Independence Day actor told PEOPLE. “It’s helped keeping in tune with each other.”
Bill noted in a 2011 interview with Good Housekeeping that a key component to his rock-solid relationship is “being able to share a perspective about what we want to do — and also supporting each other.”
He revealed that “an afternoon of gardening” is their idea of a fun date night. “At Christmastime, we give out the fruit we grow. Each year we give our jars a title,” he said in the interview. On Sunday mornings, he gushed that Tamara loves to go to the farmers’ market.
