If you were to sit down and make a list of some of the cutest Hollywood couples that actually look, act and talk like they’re a couple, then Bill & Giuliana Rancic are totally at the top! Thanks to the beauty brand NIVEA, I was given the awesome opportunity to chat with the lovely couple and you know that I got the scoop on their Valentine’s Day plans (which btw are so romantically simple it’s ridic)
But, before I get into all that, I just wanted to outline exactly who each of them are (just in case you like live under a rock or something you know). Giuliana Rancic is that awesome celebrity news anchor that you see on E! News interviewing all the celebs on the red carpet at events such as the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. Oh, and of course you can catch her as a host on E! News. She actually dated actor Jerry O’Connell for about three years before dating her current husband, Bill. You may remember her husband Bill Rancic from Donald Trump’s reality TV show The Apprentice. (He was the first candidate actually hired on by the Trump Organization after being on the show!) Both have their own reality television show called (yep! you guessed it!) Giuliana and Bill on The Style Network. (Side note: I’ve never actually watched the show considering that I barely have time to breathe, but I do remember seeing commercials for it and thinking that it looked super cute!)
One thing I do remember reading about in the celebrity news headlines about the couple is their struggle to conceive a child. While Giuliana isn’t pregnant, the couple did confess that this year there were going to take a break from the fertility treatments (which I imagine can be a pretty harrowing process!)
“We’re just kind of re-connecting and remembering who we were,” Giuliana said in regards to the couples’ plans for the year. “We were just a fun couple in love and that’s where we are getting back to.”
The couple (who dated for almost 5 years before officially tying the knot in 2007) said that although they spend tons of time apart due to their busy schedules, they always try to make sure they spend quality time with each other whey they actually are together.
“When we are together, we don’t nick pick or have petty arguments,” Giuliana said. “It’s funny because people will say to us ‘You guys are apart a lot. How do you have time to be together?’ but we’re together in some ways more than some people that live underneath the same roof!” We’re best friends and we just blend together. There are many things that annoy me about him, but we’re very fotunate.”
Both admit to being avid runners and try to get as much time “sweating time” as possible. However, for Valentine’s Day, they plan on hanging up their sneakers in exchange for a nice pair of say, Louboutins and men’s loafers to hit up one of their fave restaurants for appetizers and drinks. Then, Bill plans on making a nice dinner for two at home.
“People always think to keep your relationship alive that you have to take these fancy trips or make these elaborate excursions and it’s not about that,” Bill said. “It’s about getting out of your comfort zones and I think a lot of couples get stuck in ruts. Valentine’s Day is a good opportunity to get out of that rut .”
And what better way to get out of your relationship rut than with a big bottle of NIVEA body lotion?! (Side note: May I suggest the Smooth Sensation lotion? That stuff is amaze!) Giuliana shared plans to massage Bill down with the stuff and Bill sounded like he couldn’t wait. Hey, maybe they won’t need to use those fertility treatments after all!
Of course, you know how I had to ask what their advice was for those of single gals like me out there looking for their own “Bill’s.” While Giuliana told me to hit up cool hotel bars and lobbies, Bill encouraged me to celebrate my singlehood. Which is something I definitely plan on doing. Love!
