Bell also told PEOPLE that at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the two Hello Bello founders "definitely needed a little therapy brush-up" in their marriage.

"Every couple of years, we're like, 'We're being very antagonistic towards each other,' and we don't want that," she previously added. "We go back to therapy and figure out what I'm not doing that's best for you and what you're not doing that's best for me, and how we can serve this team goal better."
