For the couple, who met a decade ago when Hillis cast Morris to play his bride in a thriller film, the road to marriage has been tumultuous. In 2019, Morris was convicted of a misdemeanor after a domestic violence altercation with Hillis.
“Finding true love is not always easy,” Morris says. “Sometimes the journey is long and full of obstacles, twists and turns, and even some pitfalls. But if you keep going, never lose hope, and follow your heart, it will take you to a wonderful destination.”
Says Morris: “We complete each other. We have always felt that we were each other’s missing puzzle piece, and when we are together, our puzzle is complete and we are happy.”
