The mother of two and her husband spoke with ET about their new show while at NBC’s Summer Press Day on Wednesday.
“I think in any relationship in this industry, there’s a stress on relationships,” Ross, 29, said. “I think that’s reality, but in no way do I think that if a relationship is meant to be together and a marriage is meant to be together, that anything like a show or being in this industry can change that.”
