The moment Catherine Giudici Lowe started falling in love with Sean Lowe
Catherine says she began falling in love with Sean during their first one-on-one date. She explained in an Instagram post how their love began to blossom. After the date, Sean and Catherine were supposed to go back to their hotels in different cars. However, after Sean begged the producers, they let them ride back together on the condition they wouldn’t speak to each other.

How Catherine and Sean make their marriage work
When Showbiz Cheat Sheet Catherine how she nurtures her marriage, she told us she feels it’s important to give respect, acknowledgement, and validation each day. She tries to use each opportunity she is given to make sure Sean feels loved and supported.
“I feel like respecting each other, acknowledging each other, and validating each other are all ways to be kind to your partner,” Catherine tells Showbiz Cheat Sheet.
“Sean and I have been together and worked together for 8 years straight,” she continues. “Acknowledging each other, even in the mundane, like going to the fridge and back, and giving each other a kiss and acknowledging that each other is there, I think doing that consistently will help your marriage.”
Catherine says acknowledging each other daily is the key to maintaining a strong bond. For her, this is important for a relationship to thrive. “I can’t imagine what it would be like if my husband didn’t really acknowledge me throughout the day, especially now that we’re home all the time now,” she says.
“I think a lot of people are just wanting to be seen, and I think that’s a great way,” Catherine continues. “It’s also important to say ‘thank you’ for things that normally you wouldn’t say thank you for. For example, the garbage or the dishes. Just acknowledging the other person for what they’re doing for your family or just for your home is an easy way to make sure you’re being respectful to your partner.”
