There\u2019s not a very big population here. There was a lot of fear during the pandemic. We were definitely nervous about what was going to happen, but we did get very lucky in the fact that we were up here in the middle of nowhere,&#8221; Josh told us when talking about how he and his family coped with the COVID pandemic while living in Utah. &#8220;We\u2019re in the mountains and living a similar sort of homestead life that we were living before just heavily masked. It\u2019s been great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-12\">&#8220;Honestly, just to have this extra time for me to be able to help with their studies and actually really see where they\u2019re at with how they learn, what they\u2019re doing well in, and what they\u2019re struggling with,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;To be honest with you. I think that was a positive. It\u2019s been a little over a year now, and I think we\u2019re all a little bit sick of each other. But we\u2019ve been making a lot of music. Katie and I, one of the things that attracted us to each other is that we love doing things together. We love crafting, and we love creating.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley have been married since 2007 and share a close bond.
