We ran a business together designing and painting backdrops and sets for 27 years.”
In an email toEntertainment Weekly, Leach confirmed the couple’s reasoning for the label they used.
“As for our decision to introduce ourselves as business partners, that was true.
We were partners in business at the time, but also we were a couple,” he wrote.
“We chose to say business partners because of the show being filmed in 1991.
Also, there were a few family members who did not yet know about our relationship.
The world has changed and now we are comfortable and proud to introduce ourselves as married.”
Supermarket Sweepwas one of the most popular game shows of the 1990s, running for six years on Lifetime.
Kevin and Brandon,The Daily Beastrevealed, were actually roommates, and only roommates.
Tim and Mark’s episode ofSupermarket Sweepcan be streamed onTubi.
