Back in 2018, Steenburgentold PEOPLEthat Danson’s small gestures mean the most to her in their relationship.
“He is just kind to me every single day,” she said at the time. “If he has an early call, I try to get up while it’s still dark and make him coffee and send him off and he does the same for me. I think it’s those little kindnesses that completely make up our life that are so appreciated.”
“I could care less about things like Valentine’s Day because literally the appreciation for what I do for him and the way he nurtures me as a woman, as an artist, as an actor, as a songwriter and his celebration of who I am makes me free to fly and be who I am,” she added. “And I hope I do that for him.”
