OHMYGOSSIP — Stephen McGann says the secret to a long-lasting marriage is “love and sincerity”.
The 58-year-old actor, who plays Dr. Patrick Turner in medical drama ‘Call the Midwife’, has been married to the show’s writer Heidi Thomas – with whom he shares son Dominic, 24 – for more than 31 years.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, he said: “I cannot tell you how proud I am of Heidi. We have a lovely relationship and I love the bones of her – she’s wonderful.
“There’s no secret as far as I know to a long-lasting marriage. But if I had to think of something, I’d say the secret to our marriage is probably the same sort of thing as the secret to ‘Call the Midwife’ – that there’s no magic formula, it’s just love and sincerity.”
Stephen has been on the show for more than 10 years, and admits, like his marriage, the secret to its success is “love”.
He said: “The show is just about love, It’s as simple and complicated as that. To make someone love you, to make an audience feel moved in ‘Call the Midwife’, it’s not a clever conjurer’s trick.
“It’s about people seeing something in that show that they recognise in themselves. They’re crying when they watch the show because they’re crying at a better part of themselves.
“And to go back to my marriage, the thing is love. You don’t look to some masterplan. You try every day, with the deepest of friendship, regard and love. We’ve brought a child up together.
“What I can say is that I’ve never loved her more than I love her now, in 31 years. I say it to the people in work, and I say it openly now.”
