Actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, known for her iconic role on "The Sopranos," has been happily married to her husband Cutter Dykstra since 2016. As a mom of two young boys, she’s learned a thing or two about balancing family life with maintaining a strong partnership. In a recent exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, Sigler opened up about her marriage and offered some advice that every parent should hear.
Putting Kids First, But Not Forgetting Your Partner
At 38 years old, Jamie-Lynn Sigler knows what it means to juggle life as a working mom and wife. Speaking candidly, she emphasized the importance of keeping the spark alive in her marriage. "Your kids are absolutely the most important thing in your life, but don't forget about your partner," she advised. Sigler and Dykstra have two sons, Beau (6) and Jack (1), and despite their busy schedules, they make it a point to prioritize their relationship. "Cutter and I, we try to take a weekend getaway at least every three months," she revealed. "It's tough leaving the kids behind, and you might feel guilty about it, but life gets overwhelming. These trips remind us who we are as a couple."
Weekend Getaways: The Secret to Staying Connected
Life with kids can get chaotic, especially for a couple like Sigler and Dykstra, who both have demanding careers. "We see each other maybe two hours a day," she explained. "Even on weekends, we're running around nonstop with the kids. It's exhausting!" That’s why they make it a priority to escape for a quick weekend getaway every few months. "We don’t go far—just 30 minutes or an hour away—but it’s enough to recharge and reconnect. It reminds us of what life was like before the little ones came along," she said. These trips aren’t extravagant, but they’re essential for keeping their bond strong.

Dealing with Differences and Disagreements
Of course, no marriage is without its challenges, and Sigler is the first to admit that she and Dykstra have faced their fair share. "When you're dealing with newborns and sleep deprivation, it can bring out the worst in anyone," she confessed. "We come from different backgrounds, so even though we have similar parenting goals, there are times when we disagree." But the key, according to Sigler, is handling those disagreements wisely. "I’m okay with disagreeing, but never in front of the kids," she stressed. "We want to present a united front." If disagreements do happen, Sigler believes it’s crucial to show their children how to resolve conflicts. "It’s important for them to see us make up, even if we’re not fully resolved yet," she added. "I don’t want them growing up thinking relationships should be perfect or that disagreements are something to fear."
