“Oh my god! I don’t think I’d even be here, to tell you that truth,” he said, when speaking about the idea of life without her. “She keeps me in shape, feeds me and I love her more everyday. We’re just getting closer and closer.”

Awwww! And Silver even chimed in, saying how he’s changed her for the better as well.

“He’s really made me a better person,” she said. “I was very cynical, I think, when I first met him. He’s such a great human being and he’s so pure in his thoughts and his heart, that it’s rubbed off on me. Just all the wholesome things of life – that’s what he has and he’s just made me a better person.”

According to Insider, the Dick Van Dyke star was instantly attracted to Silver, after appointing her as his makeup artist. After six years together, they tied the knot in 2012, which he calls “one of the smartest moves he has ever made.”

He also said in an interview with HuffPost that he tries to keep his spirit as youthful as possible for her, saying, “I do a lot of leg work, all kinds of treadmills and weights and everything, because I like to keep the bounce when I dance. I can dance better than any 90-year-old you ever know.
