But Harris is not denying that their relationship hasn’t changed over the years. “Honeymoon phases end. They just do,” the actor tells Glamour in its September issue. “I think you have to find new elements that turn you on, and not only sexually.” But according to his social-media post, which he ended with “#grateful,” the Tony winner could not be happier.
