Love at 1st Sight: Harry Connick Jr. & Jill Goodacre

by Sarika Dani

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO END A FIGHT?
JG: You end a fight with a kiss, for sure. Never go to sleep mad.
HC: You just say, “I’m sorry and I’m wrong.” And mean it. Hug and kiss and move on.

WHAT’S THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT HE/SHE wHAS PAID YOU?
JG: Soon after I met him, he said, “I can’t wait to grow old with you.” I’ll never forget when he said that. And also, “Will you marry me?”
HC: When she said “yes” when I asked her to marry me.

WHAT DO YOU THINK HE/SHE LOOKS SEXIEST IN?
JG: Jeans. He is hot in jeans. And he never wore them until he met me, since I’m so casual.
HC: She can rock some jeans. I like the casual vibe the best. Today she had on jeans and these little pony fur loafers and a sweatshirt. That’s the sexiest outfit to me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BODY PART OF HIS/HERS?
JG: Lips! Well, lips and eyes. They’re both phenomenal.
HC: Aside from the obvious things guys like, I really like her hands. She’s got strong hands. She doesn’t throw a football like a girl. She’s extremely feminine but she’s tough, too.

WHEN I WANT TO LOOK EXTRA SEXY, I WEAR:
JG: I’ll always put on something that he bought me. He has amazing taste in clothes. He’s quite a shopper.
HC: I’ve been trained to know what Jill likes. If she likes me in jeans and a dark blue shirt, then I’ll wear that all the time.

WHAT QUALITY DO YOU ADMIRE MOST IN HIM/HER?
JG: His sensitivity and his sense of humor.
HC: She’s confident, but also very humble.

WHY DO YOU THINK YOUR RELATIONSHIP WORKS?
JG: We’re best friends, besides being madly in love with each other.
HC: We love each other and we’re best friends. We trust each other completely.

WHAT PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE A NEWLYWED COUPLE?
JG: To listen and to stay best friends.
HC: [Laughs] I don’t know anything about this stuff. They probably have advice for me!

WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST FOR EACH OTHER?
JG: Happiness, which I think he has.
HC: Sometimes being in show business is hard on a relationship, but I’ll do whatever it takes. I want her to stay as happy as she is.
