Cyndi Lauper’s Marriage Hasn’t Always Been Perfect
She admitted that things can get a bit crazy. “You have your highs and lows of course,” she told People. “But sometimes the things you think are important when you’re young just aren’t important.”
When Cyndi Lauper speaks of her marriage, she is quick to point out that David isn’t just her spouse. He is her family.
“Your partner is the best friend you’ll ever have, that you’ll spend the most time with. So you have to talk to them, share stuff,” she said.
