Kerry Washington Reveals She Started Couples Therapy “Before Anything Was Wrong” with Husband Nnamdi Asomugha

Kerry Washington is opening up about what’s really keeping her marriage strong — and it might surprise fans.

During a recent podcast appearance, the Scandal star revealed she and her husband, Nnamdi Asomugha, started couples therapy early in their relationship — not because of issues, but as a preventative move.

Washington explained the pair wanted to build strong communication habits from the beginning, saying they intentionally created a space to “talk about stuff” before challenges ever came up.

The actress didn’t hold back about how much she values the process, even calling therapy “the best part of my week,” noting that each session begins with sharing appreciation for one another — something she says has helped them better understand each other.

The couple, who married in 2013 and share children together, have long kept their relationship out of the spotlight — making her candid comments a rare glimpse into their private life.

Washington also credited Asomugha with helping her grow personally, calling his partnership and their family one of the greatest gifts in her life.

In an era where celebrity breakups dominate headlines, Washington’s approach is flipping the script — proving sometimes the real work starts before anything goes wrong.
