Holly Robinson Peete is skilled at executing a major surprise. The actress knew she wanted to go big when it came to her 1995 wedding to NFL quarterback Rodney Peete.

Peete, 58, exclusively tells news: “In 1994 Rodney startled and surprised me with what I think is possibly the nicest proposal ever on the set of Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper. I was adamant about getting him back! Well, I did on the day of our wedding.

“I convinced the full USC marching band, which he adores, to attend for us. There are so many of them that it would have been impossible to do. (Peete, 56, was a quarterback at the University of Southern California.)

“They waited down the hill way up the street from the venue in a bus for about an hour before they had to come up. He was shocked. I got my Trojan QB back good!” she recalls. “They played the USC fight song up and down the aisle, and I think Rodney and his Trojan groomsmen all got teary-eyed! I will never stop being grateful to Mr. Art Bartner, USC and this band for that moment! ‘Fight On!'”

The couple, who are parents to sons Roman, 17, and Robinson, 20, as well as twins Ryan Elizabeth Peete and Rodney Peete, Jr., 25, exchanged vows on June 10, 1995 in Brentwood, California.

Rodney wished his 27-year-old wife a happy birthday on Instagram in September 2022.

He wrote last year, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my AMAZING wife @hollyrpeete! ” “I appreciate you always being there for my family and I. I’ve loved you for more than half of my existence here on earth, and I will always love and respect you. You improve me, baby!”

Holly identified the 20-second hug as the couple’s simple practice for maintaining a healthy marriage in 2021.

No matter how you’re feeling at the time, she explained to First for Women, “the rule is you have to give each other a hug for 20 whole seconds when one or the other asks for it.” There’s something about the first 15 seconds that are just being held, but after that, the pheromones take over and it really works for us, says the speaker.
