Bo Derek talks becoming a sex symbol after '10' fame, walking the runway and whether she’ll marry John Corbett

Bo Derek talks becoming a sex symbol after '10' fame, walking the runway for Macy’s Go Red and whether she’ll marry actor John Corbett.

Bo Derek and John Corbett are married! The "Sex and the City" star revealed on Tuesday that after two decades of being together, the longtime loves elected to finally tie the knot last year "around Christmastime."

"Jerry I can't believe that I forgot to tell you that around Christmastime we got married. Bo and I got married!" Corbett, 60, revealed to Jerry O’Connell on "The Talk."

"We're pretty private people, we didn't make an announcement," Corbett explained. "All our friends and family knew but this is the first time either one of us has said anything publicly about it because really we haven't had an opportunity. So, you're my buddy and now I guess I'm telling all of America, or the world." 

"After 20 years we decided to get married, we didn't want 2020 to be that thing that everybody looks back at and hated," he added, referencing the pandemic. "We thought, 'Well, let's get one nice thing out of it.'"

In April 2020 – some eight months before the "10" actress and Corbett officially wed  –  Derek, 64, told Fox News that the couple simply wasn’t in a rush to exchange nuptials.

"I think when you're beginning a young family and you're going to have children and set up this new family tree branch, it's obviously a wonderful commitment and it’s meaningful," she said of waltzing down the aisle. "But for us in our lives, it hasn't been yet."
