According to actress Ashley Judd, love never did run smooth for her and her estranged husband, Dario Franchitti.

Judd states, it is a complicated relationship — but complicated isn’t necessarily bad. Speaking about the state of their marriage in the April issue of Ladies’ Home Journal, Judd says they’re still very much each other’s family.

“He’ll always be my loved one,” Judd, 45, tells the magazine. “Even before our wedding, we agreed not to tell people about our relationship, but to show them instead. What we’re showing them now is we’re human, we’re family, and this is what family looks like.”

The couple separated in January 2013 after eleven years of marriage. In October, however, she was by his side after he suffered serious injuries in an accident at the Grand Prix of Houston. A source told Us Weekly later that same month that they planned to “give it another try” once he recovered.

The accident involving Franchitti, the four-time IndyCar champion, caused him to suffer two broken vertebrae, a fractured right ankle and a concussion. The frightening crash found his car airborne into the catchfence during Houston Grand Prix, Sunday, October 6, 2013.

Debris from his car vaulted into the stands, injuring 13 fans and an IndyCar Series official, according to the Associated Press.
