“I was giving birth, I was in labour when Steve called to tell me the show was picked up.”

It’s over after 13 years

Since 2004, Julie was happily married to her husband, Scott Phillips. Sadly, thecouple split after over a decade of marriage, according to PEOPLE magazine.

Though the cause of their separation is unknown, the actress was the one who filed for a divorce in February 2018. They split their assets of $25.3 million after reaching an agreement, but details on child custody and spousal support were not made public.

Meanwhile, Julie during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live tried to identify her three children by touching their faces. The actress was blindfolded and asked to identify which kids were hers out of five children.
