Although Jillianfiled for divorcein Jan. 2015, they reconciled later that year before calling off the divorce in 2016. Patricktold PEOPLEthat the potential split was “scary,” but they ultimately found couples counseling to be “very important” in mending their relationship.
“Our marriage was not something I was prepared to let go of. I didn’t feel like we had done all the work. And we both wanted to do that work. That’s where it started,” he said in Sept. 2016. “It’s always destabilizing when you’re potentially breaking up a family or you have a big section of your life that’s ending.”

“You can only do one thing at a time and do it well. I [learned] to prioritize. Our union has to be the priority. I wasn’t prepared to give up on her and she wasn’t either. We both wanted to fight for it. … You’ve got to keep at it. You’ve got to communicate, and stay open and not get lazy. And not give up. And lots of sex!” Patrick added.
