It was kind of too much too fast at too young ... like the intensity level was like, ‘Oh woah,' Ferrell explained while appearing on the MeSsy podcast in July.
When the holiday season comes around and Ferrell has to get a gift for his wife, he tells PEOPLE there's one item he never has to worry about purchasing.
Still, Ferrell considers himself to be an excellent shopper, adding, "I actually really love gift-giving, especially if I can zero in on that very specific, special gift."
Through his partnership with PayPal — in which he stars in a commercial where he sings a reimagined version of Fleetwood Mac’s “Everywhere" — Ferrell helps himself, and others, save money.
PayPal is one of the most secure financial services you can use. ... It's so versatile and there are tons of options, especially during the holidays, with cashback and things like that, he says, adding: "My mother of all people has said she has gotten more feedback on my PayPal commercials than almost anything I've ever done, so if that doesn't say something, if that doesn't speak to the reach of what we're doing, I don't know what does."
In 1996, Menendez and his brother, Erik, were sentenced to life in prison for the 1989 first-degree murders of their parents, Kitty and José Menendez. Before they were sentenced, Menendez had already been communicating with Sneed via letters since 1993.
Menendez married Sneed from prison in November 2003. On Nov. 21, 2024, however, Sneed announced that she and Menendez had separated, bringing their two-decade-long relationship to an end.
Although Menendez has been behind bars for years, he told PEOPLE in January 2017 that his constant communication with Sneed helped bring him "peace and joy" while in prison.
“Our interaction tends to be very free of distractions and we probably have more intimate conversations than most married spouses do, who are distracted by life’s events,” Menendez said.
He added, "I have a very steady, involved marriage and that helps sustain me ... It’s a counter to the unpredictable, very stressful environment here."
Sneed, a former magazine journalist and editor, transitioned into a career as an attorney after marrying Menendez. She currently resides in Sacramento, Calif., nearby to where her husband was imprisoned at the beginning of their marriage.
A prison spokesperson told the Associated Press in 2003 that Menendez and Sneed had known each other for a decade before they wed, per NBC News. They communicated through letters while he was in prison.
“People are judgmental, and she has to put up with a lot,” Menendez said. “But she has the courage to deal with the obstacles. It would be easier to leave, but I’m profoundly grateful that she doesn’t.”
Sneed also manages the official Menendez brothers' Facebook page, which serves as a network of support for survivors of abuse and provides updates on their case.
The couple tied the knot in a ceremony at Mule Creek State Prison near Sacramento, with about a dozen friends and family in attendance in a maximum security visiting area, KXTV-TV in Sacramento reported at the time.
