Pat Smith has been married to NFL Hall of Famer, Emmitt Smith, for 16 years. I’m sure throughout their marriage, they’ve been through a ton of ups and downs. Can you believe, though, that Pat once felt insecure when her husband participated in ‘Dancing With The Stars’ ?
“During that time I would have literal motion picture movies going on in my head of Cheryl [Burke] and Emmitt in the dance room having this steamy affair,” she said during a Facebook Live interview with Fox 5 Good Day New York on Thursday. “I’m talking like Oscar-worthy films going on. And I literally sat at home thinking, ‘Okay, they’ve got this romance and there’s this chemistry and this thing’ and it was killing me.”
Pat admits that her insecurities got so bad that she practically forbid her husband of seeing his co-star outside of work. “I told Emmitt, ‘Listen, no going out to lunch or let’s go run and get us Starbucks. I need you all to keep this business. ‘ So what he did was really include me on the team. Cheryl was a part of our family’s parties, our kid’s parties.”
Emmitt and Cheryl went on to win season 3 of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and Pat has revealed that she has gotten her emotions in check and now refers to Burke as her little sister.
