They have been together from the early days of their career.
Phil, in an interview, said he and Louise went to New York without knowing anything about how to work in America, not knowing how hard it would be.
He was just 24 at the time.
During a Talk To Me interview for Huff Post, when Phil was asked by his daughter if the key to their successful marriage was their long collaboration, he said the key to a successful marriage, in his opinion, is finding someone who is your best friend and who you respect.
He believes one person should not define the other.
“If something would happen to me, know your mom would miss me, but it’s not going to devastate her. She is not defined by me, and I am not defined by her”, he told his daughter.

Her husband credited her for his success
Phil, in an interview with ET, credited his wife for being a pivotal part of his success. He explained the importance of having a good team.
He said it’s essential to have good players on a team to have a good team; otherwise, one can get frustrated.
“We are just compatible... The things that she is really good at, I am not good at, and vice versa. And so we leave each other alone to deal with certain aspects of the production where we trust each other for the judgment that we have in those areas”, he said.
She is a mother of a grown-up daughter
Louise is the mother of a grown-up daughter, Elle Keoghan.
While appearing on First Class Fatherhood to talk about how fatherhood changed his life, Phil said he was 28 when he had Elle, and it just changed the way he thought about everything.
He started to think about his own safety and well-being as it related to being a responsible father and being there for his daughter.
He also revealed that he turned down the offer to climb Mount Everest, which was on his list.
He had always wanted to climb Everest, and the opportunity came knocking at his door after his daughter was born, but he turned it down, thinking it was not a responsible thing to do.
He said that if the opportunity had come before her birth, he would have jumped at the chance without thinking twice.
“When you have a child, you become less selfish. You think more about the fact that you are responsible for another human being”, he added.
Phil says The Amazing Race is needed now more than ever
Phil has been on the Emmy-winning show The Amazing Race since its premiere in 2001.
The show is now in its 36th season, which is set to premiere on the 13th of March 2024.
While appearing on CBS morning to preview the show’s 35th season, Phil said the show is needed more than ever, stating that there is so much divisiveness in the world and there is a lot of talking about what makes us different, but with Amazing Race, they are showing more about how they are same.
He further went on to say that there are a lot of things that accentuate what’s wrong, and their show is a little bit of an escape to say, “Hey, isn’t this the beautiful.”
Phil not only hosts the show, but he produces, directs, and writes.
He said being able to do more than just host on the show has allowed him to be excited about turning up and going to work every day.
Phil was also honored with two Guinness World Records titles for the most prime-time Emmy Award wins for an outstanding reality competition program and the most consecutive prime-time Emmy Award wins for an outstanding reality competition program.
