When it comes to her relationship, Leslie Bibb says, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
The White Lotus actress has been married once, to investment banker Rob Born, from 2003 to 2004.
Since 2007, she has been in a relationship with fellow actor Sam Rockwell, and though forever certainly seems to be in the cards for them, marriage on the other hand, is not.
During a recent appearance on TODAY with Jenna & Friends, host Jenna Bush Hager brought up a report stating that more women are "ditching" the idea of marriage, and that about "50% of women" think that marriage is "not important to live a fulfilling life."
Reacting, Leslie said: "Listen, you're speaking to the choir," before maintaining: "I love Sam Rockwell. I would put him in my pocket and carry him with me all the time."

She went on to joke how in the beginning he would jokingly ask whether she was sure she didn't want to get married, but she always emphasized that it wasn't something she wanted. "He didn't want it either," she went on, adding that it's "maybe something about the way we grew up," and that "if it ain't broke don't fix it."
