“When we met we decided it would be funny to say that we are brother and sister and that we really hate each other and that the family lawyers are involved.
“I think people think that because we have brown hair and blue eyes we look similar so we have to be related.”

Did she marry Michael Bublé?
No, however the pair dated for three years.
The crooner said of his ex: “Emily is a beautiful and loving person, and I’m grateful for the time I had with her, for the relationship.
“Without it, I wouldn’t have had a chance to fall in love with myself enough to be with a woman like my wife.”
