In a rare interview, Owens' husband Farmer recently shed light on their differing approaches to faith, noting Owens' public persona contrasted with his more reserved stance.

"We have different brands. She is very outward-facing, and pretty much everything she says becomes a news story, whereas I am exclusively interested in faith," Farmer revealed to the Catholic Herald.
