Julianna Margulies had a lot of reasons to attend the 2015 Golden Globe Awards. Not only was she nominated for a Best Actress award for her portrayal of Alicia Florick in the TV show The Good Wife, but she was also there to present the Cecil B. DeMille Award to her former ER co-star, George Clooney. As her date, Margulies brought along her husband Keith Lieberthal. The couple posed together at the red carpet, with Margulies looking striking in her elegant red dress while Lieberthal wore a simple but dashing suit.

The TV star opened up about her marriage and family life in an interview with Good Housekeeping. In the interview, she revealed that she wasn’t the “marrying type” until she met Lieberthal. She said that what changed her mind was “meeting someone I could actually imagine spending my life with”.

Margulies adds, “And, as corny as it sounds, it’s the little things, not the big things, that make the marriage. Because anyone can be hot and sexy and have a fun night, but when you look forward to waking up together, that’s someone you probably want to be with for the rest of your life.”

“I had been in relationships that weren’t really working and decided I needed to live as a person who wasn’t trying to constantly take care of everyone,” Margulies said in the interview about the time before she met Keith. “I always say to friends who haven’t found love that until you are completely content by yourself, you’re not going to find it. You’re going to be searching too hard.”

Margulies and Lieberthal got married on November 10, 2007 in Lenox, Massachusetts. Lieberthal is an attorney and is the son of academic Kenneth Lieberthal. The couple are currently living in Manhattan with their son Kieran. Keith was Julianna’s first boyfriend after her split from actor Ron Eldard back in 2003.
