Derek once told that getting married wasn’t really on the agenda for the longtime couple.

“It's not really a conscious decision not to," Derek said in September 2020.

"It's just at our age we're not going to have children: we're not building a new family together that this is important to a family tree.”

“So, for us, it would just be a piece of paper."

Derek is now 64-years-old.
