As the pair’s romance continued heating up, Chenoweth was nervous about how the coronavirus pandemic lockdown would affect their bond. “I think I maybe had a crying moment,” Chenoweth exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2020. “And I said, ‘Are you ever going to [leave]?

While Chenoweth joked to Us that she wasn’t sure if marriage was in the cards, she loved their connection. “Honestly, I’ve never really been that girl. I think I’m going to take life each day as it comes, especially now during this time,” the Broadway icon — who was previously engaged to Marc Kudisch between 1998 to 2001 — quipped to Us.
