Maury PovichandConnie Chungare enjoying a rare date night out!
The couple stepped out together to attend the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards. Povich is being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday, with Chung presenting.
For the outing, which was held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, Povich, 84, wore a traditional black tuxedo. Chung, 77, opted for a hot pink blazer and black pants. She accessorized the look with dangly earrings and a white clutch.
Before receiving his Lifetime Achievement award, Povich — whose daytime talk showMauryended in September 2022 —took the stage to honor the evening’s Gold and Silver Circle Inductees, Vernee Watson, Al Schwartz, Christina Knack, Tanya Hart and Patrick Weiland. The Gold and Silver Circle is a society of honor and those who get inducted “have performed distinguished service within the television industry, setting standards for achievement, mentoring, leadership and professional accolades for 50 or 25 years.”

The pair went on to date for the next six years before tying the knot in front of 65 of their closest friends and family. Povich and Chung credit playful banter and open communication as key to their romance in good times and bad as they supported each other through career upheavals, infertility struggles and the adoption of their son Matthew in 1995.
“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,” Povich said of their tip to marriage success. “But we’ve always respected each other’s careers and we’ve always respected each other’s space and values. There’s no need for any do-overs. Maybe that’s the reason why we’re still married.”
In turn, Chung joked that she holds “grudges and I need to continue to argue it out, whatever it is,” before emphasizing, “I would go back and relive every moment.”
