The couple got married in 2007; it was Meat Loaf’s second marriage and Aday’s first (via Hollywood Life).
“I waited until later in life to get married because I was waiting for the right man. And oh boy, was he ever the right man for me!” Aday revealed in the statement to People. “I realize how blessed I am to have shared my life with such an incredible person. He didn’t hesitate to let me know how much I was appreciated, and often sweetly told me, ‘You’re a good wife.’ I will miss hearing that.”
She went on to touchingly summarize the mix of pain and love that she’s feeling with this loss: “Our life together was an adventure. He was my best friend, my confidant, my lover and I miss him terribly already. As much as my heart is in pain right now, my heart is also so full of the love and glory we shared together. I will love you forever, Michael.”
