Steve and Michel, who started dating in early 2005, tied the knot in 2008 after over three years of an affair. Three years after their marriage, the couple went through a harsh family problem when Steve was diagnosed with ALS(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a severe motor neuron disease which causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles.
