Judge Judy – Says Husband Jerry Takes “Wonderful Care” Of His Body
In her latest interview, the TV personality spilled the deets on why her marriage to former judge Jerry Sheindlin works. Even though, as she jokingly put in, they’re both getting hard of hearing, their love still remains strong because some things didn’t change.
“We’re together a lot. Jerry retired about 20 years ago, but he has his own thing,” Judy, 81, told Chris Wallace on the June 21 episode of his popular show ‘Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?’ “He takes wonderful care of himself. And I sort of like it, because he maintains that physique that I fell in love with 48 years ago.”
But the looks aren’t the only thing he’s maintained through the years. Judy also confessed that she’s equally enamored with his “sense of humor, [which is] still really smart and sharp.”
In 1990, the pair famously divorced, before remarrying a year later. In a previous interview, Judy said it’s because she was going through a lot and he wasn’t handling it the way she wanted him to.
These days, she calls it a “a long story,” saying that she learned a lot from that experience and many others like it.

Judge Judy – Shares Wisdoms She’s Accumulated About Relationships
Sharing the wisdom she’s accumulated from her long-lasting marriage, Judy said, “I found, Chris, that most men were alike. I’m saying that they have basic needs that are different from women’s. They like to be fed. They like to be cuddled. They like to have their alone time, that you take out the alone box and leave me alone. She added: “And if you feed them and love them up a little bit, and don’t get in their way too much — they’re happy.”
In a previous PEOPLE interview, Judy admitted that physique has always been a big part of her and her husband’s marriage.
“We’re both very surface people when it comes to that,” she said in 2021. “You know, if you fall instantaneously for somebody, that means there’s a physical attraction.

And people age, people — they change. You can either do it gracefully or you can say, ‘I give up.’ And I, for myself, I’d say, I choose to not give up, I choose to stay fit, so don’t even think about anything but staying as – looking as good as you can possibly look at this stage of your life.”
