They met while Connie worked as a copygirl at a little Washington D.C. TV station. "He was a big star, and I was just a kid… He was very gruff and very matter-of-fact. He never looked up," she recalled in a 2020 interview. "I kept thinking, 'Maybe someday he'll acknowledge that I'm a human being.'"

According to Maury, getting laid off earned him some pity from Connie, who was the only person he knew in Los Angeles. "I always said the way to get to Connie's heart is first, she pities you, and then she can love you. She pitied the fact that I was fired," he said. They dated for six years before tying the knot and have been together ever since, thanks to excellent communication and conflict resolution. "Whatever discussions or arguments go on during the day, once the head hits the pillow, it's over and not to be continued the next morning. It is not on my mind," Maury said. "There's no need for any do-overs. Maybe that's the reason why we're still married."
