The 38-year-old model is in a relationship with marine biologist James Ward and spoke about how it feels to enter a healthy romance after the tumultuous relationship with the late businessman.
“With James, my feelings are valued, validated. I am seen and I am heard,” Crystal said in an interview published on Wednesday (18) in People magazine. Crystal was married to Hugh for five years before his death in 2017.
After recovering, she revealed that she now has a different perspective on her relationship with Ward. “I am nurturing my true self, my adventurous spirit, my inner child. I feel accepted and more myself than ever.”
Crystal’s new romance comes after she shared intimate details about her marriage to Hugh while promoting her memoir in January, even describing their relationship as “traumatic.”
“It was emotionally abusive. It was very restrictive. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I was away from it for a while,” she said about their marriage, adding that she was never “in love” with her late husband.
