“I’m still very much in love with my husband,” she said. “Don’t ask me about mine.” Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, “It ain’t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.”

The insider also said it was to not unusual to hear them fighting. “You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on.”
