World-class athletes Gabrielle Reece and Laird Hamilton are another supercouple who splits their time between their family and their high-profile careers.With homes in both Maui and Malibu, Laird, one of the world's best and boldest surfers, trains year-round to conquer some of the earth's biggest waves—some swells reach eight stories high! His wife, Gabrielle, is a professional beach volleyball star, model and spokeswoman who has her own line of clothing and fitness videos.
If that's not enough to keep this couple busy, they're also the parents of three children!
When asked why they are a power couple, Gabrielle jokes that it might be because of their size. Both are 6'3" and they weigh a combined total of around 415 pounds—when Gabrielle's pregnant.Kidding aside, Gabrielle says she and her husband work to pay attention to each other's needs. "It's knowing, 'Okay, that person has a really busy week, or they're shooting or they're surfing or they're competing,' or whatever they're doing, and the other person knows how to step around and support them," she says.
In addition to supporting each other, Laird attributes their success to working as a team. "When two people get together and their unity becomes greater than just either one of them individually, but they both have their own identities, I think that's a big part of it, too."
