“When Pat told me he was going to retire, it was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m not sure that I’m ready to retire,’” she recalled.
“I thought about it and thought about it, and I just wasn’t ready to retire.”
“Because I’m not that tired and I love what I do… I genuinely do care about our contestants, and my favorite show is when they all win something big.”
Throughout her 41 years on the show, she says she’s worn nearly 8,000 gowns and has grown to know “everything” about Pat.
“How do you describe being with someone for 41 years that you love and adore? I know everything about him, when he walks in, when he walks up the stairs, if he’s in a good mood or a bad mood.”
She also shared a rare selfie with her longtime boyfriend!
