Just previous year, the “Iron Man” star has praised his hubby enthusiastically while giving an interview to a magazine. When she was asked about the greatest decision of her life, she said, "to marry my husband". And about a couple of months ago, she revealed to another media source that she and her husband were going through some difficult times in their relationship.

"It's hard being married. You go through great times, you go through terrible times. We're the same as any couple", she said during an interview. She also revealed that she had sought advice from her late dad in this regard.

The famous duo had met in October 2002. They dated for almost a year and then married in December 2003 in a covert formal event at the Santa Barbara courthouse. It happened so fast and secretive that even the family members and friends were not invited. After few days, the beautiful actress had declared that she was expecting her first baby with him, Apple, who was born in 2004.
