In her career on the Today show, Meredith Vieira flew to Beijing to cover the Olympics, watched Duchess Catherine sparkle on her wedding day and kicked her heels up with the Rockettes.
But now, nearly two months after saying goodbye to her job as co-anchor of the top-rated morning show for the past five years, Vieira reveals her husband wasn't so sure she'd be up for the next challenge – spending time at home.
He teased, " 'Now you're going to see what it's like to be home with a crazy dog that barks all the time, things breaking hereand there, and there's always a workman doing something,' " Vieira, 57, tells Good Housekeeping magazine in its September issue, on newsstands Aug. 16. "He said, 'You're going to be a part of the rhythm of my life.' "
She continues: "There's a dance to relationships, and we had been doing a little bit of the dancing side by side, but not together. Now, we're back together, and we've got to figure out the rhythm of that dance."
Vieira, once again, clarifies that she left her job to spend more time with her husband, journalist Richard Cohen, who has secondary-progressive multiple sclerosis – but not solely to take care of him.
"Family and health factored into my decision, but it's not like Richard is … taking some turn for the worst," she says of her husband, who is also cancer-free now after two bouts with colon cancer. "I was more leaving because he's healthy. So why not while we are able to enjoy life?"
