“How do you keep your relationship exciting?” was the question posed to Brooks Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims, on May 2 during her “ask me anything” session on Instagram. Despite the playfulness of the question and the situation surrounding Brooks Koepka’s Augusta performance, Sims shared such an iconic answer that fans were in awe of it. In her response, Sims emphasized the importance of individual expression and the necessity of creating personal space within the marriage. Along with that, she shared a photo of herself and the golfer laughing uncontrollably at something, saying, “Not doing everything together. Swear.” And it seems like the love between the two is going strong, given an emotional birthday message Sims has sent her husband’s way.
