Terry Crews, the host of America’s Got Talent, and his wife Rebecca have been open about the struggles they faced together and his past battle with pornography addiction. The couple recently praised Rebecca’s prayerfulness and the “90-day sex fast” they went on to help him kick his compulsion.
“Rebecca was right there and she actually regrouped with me,” he explained. “I went on a 90-day sex fast [with] her. And people were like, ‘Whoa, that’s crazy!’ But let me tell you something — what was so beautiful about that, was it took me to a time when I was 12 years old and I liked a girl and I didn’t know anything about sex.”
“[A]ll I did was give her a flower and say, ‘I like you for who you are,’” he said. “And it wasn’t about sex. It took us back to those moments. I felt like I was 12 years old again, because sex had been taken out of the equation and it was all about love again.”
Crews opened up about his addiction to pornography, which he said began when he was nine years old. In a recent interview, he praised his wife’s commitment to prayer, saying it was “absolutely the best feeling in the world.”
“She’s a praying woman,” he recently told The Christian Post of his wife, Rebecca. “She has prayed us through so many things. One thing I know is that, to have a woman like that, who really wants the best for you, let me tell you, there’s no replacing.”
Rebecca said, “We understand the Bible says lust is never satisfied. So, when you toy with something like an addiction to porn, it’s going to lead you to other places.”
Rebecca also spoke about the incident, saying that they understand “lust is never satisfied” and when you “toy with something like an addiction to porn, it’s going to lead you to other places.” She added that she was proud of him for making the choice to “deal with demons and to save our family.”
