Matt and I were in couple's therapy, even before our marriage. I think people associate therapy with like, 'Oh my god, there's a problem.'

I'm a huge advocate for that. We definitely did try. People evolve. People grow. And sometimes they grow together and sometimes they unfortunately grow apart." Cheryl recently revealed that she is dating again - and this time, hoping for input from fans.
