:hbeat: Awww I love this guy :love:

So since he is fighting and working with powerful women, who does he consider the powerful women in his life?
“Well I guess it would start with my mother and my sister,” he replied. “And my grandmothers. But really my mom and my sister. My sister is a single mom, she’s got two boys, and she works as a neuroscientist, so she’s pretty formidable, pretty amazing. They hugely shaped who I am today. My wife, of course, she’s also a very powerful woman.”

I love how Michael acknowledges and values all the strong women in his life who have shaped and influenced him. Starting with his mother and grandmother in his formative years along with his sister. Obviously his mother and sister have known him the longest and still have an important role to play. But since meeting and marrying his wife she has taken centre stage in his life as his most important female influence which is how it is with most married couples. Clearly Michael recognises that having these strong women around has been hugely beneficial to him and will continue to be so

I totally agree with you in saying that when a man marries his wife becomes front and center in his life. That's exactly why it seemed odd to me that in that answer, he spent all this time talking about his sister, mom, and grandmother, and then at the very end said "and of course my wife". I get that he tries not to talk about their relationship in interviews - so had he not mentioned her at all, I would have seen that for the reason and thought nothing of of it But the way he gave the answer seemed odd and left me wondering if he does put her front and center in his life ... or of it doesn't see her as being as strong and independent as he does the others he talked about.

Trying really really really hard to find ways to diminish Alicia’s significance in Michael’s life is a fool’s errand. Next.

I just find it so strange that someone would go onto a joint thread just to try disparage one half of the married couple. It’s not healthy, surely. Then again there are still ‘Michael fans’ that crop Alicia out of pics or try their hardest not to mention her name when posting pics of Michael and Alicia. I find it all very strange. I’ve also read the ‘I just don’t like her and I don’t know why’ crap. :lol: Maybe you don’t like her because she stole your man :lol: 5 years down the road and people still throwing their toys out of the pram!

Any fan of Michael's who believes that Alicia "stole her man" is just silly. You can't have a man who you've never actually met. I know of level headed fans who have been in contact with him more than once at fan events who don't see him as theirs. So a person who has read articles and looked at pictures but does not know him never had a chance of him being hers - no one stole anything.

While we're on the subject of things that don't make sense - I have to say that the notion that if you're a fan of one you have to be a fan of both has never made a lot of sense to me. I think Nicole Kidman is a great actress, but don't love Keith Urban's music. I enjoy Kelly Ripa on her daytime talk show, but have not been all that excited over the TV projects Mark Consuelos has done recently. I see fandom over performers to be based primarily in performance ... not marriage choices. So if a person loves costume dramas and is a huge fan of Alicia, but doesn't care for MIchael, who cares? And if a person is a huge fan of Michael's, but isn't taken by Alicia, big deal. It matters if their friends and family like both of them - they presumably spend time with them as a couple. But following on the "stole my man" comments - fans are not coming in contact with them as a couple. So if a person enjoys the work of one but not the other why does it matter ... aside from TLBO?
