McCormick opened up about the relationship with her husband on Instagram, writing on Valentine's Day, "Happy Valentine’s Day to everything with a heart and the capacity to love. I hope not only today but every day this immense need to connect can be nurtured inside all of us. I don’t think it’s about “finding” someone to connect to and love- I think connection and love are available at every moment if a person is willing to open to the endless opportunity of connection that constantly surrounds us. We are all love in different forms, so for that, I celebrate all of us. Whatever season of connection or disconnection you are in... keep going 🤟🏼Go slow, and take time to discover the color of another’s eyes. Presence always unveils love."
