The pair's romance blossomed amidst the magic of the movie set, leading to a four-year courtship before tying the knot in 1991. Samantha once lovingly described Warwick in a birthday tribute, saying: "You are the bravest, most caring and sensitive person I know. You amaze us all everyday with your courage and strength. I love you to the moon and back. Always and forever yours."
