"You're so sweet. I mean, it's so obvious how much you love her," Ellen said. "You said recently that your life didn’t begin until you met her." Keith explained: "No, because someone asked me if it was life changing meeting her. And I said that I think it was more like it was the beginning for me. I felt like I spent all the years leading up to that preparing. I didn't know what it was, but that's what it seemed like in hindsight."
