After Blake and Teresa were married, they all hurried downstairs for lots of pictures all while the cocktail party was in full swing. The two of them asked Anne to sing her original song Timeless for their first dance and that was another extremely emotional moment. Kelli and Blake had their mother/ son dance to Edelweiss and then they all had dinner and danced the night away. All in all, it was a beautiful evening and they are so happy to welcome Teresa to their family!

    Following the wedding, Kelli & Anne joined Kelli’s siblings, husbands & wives and her parents for a short weekend getaway to Atlantic City to celebrate her mom’s 80th birthday. Hear all about the fun few days that included fabulous meals and a very interesting show.

  • EP 225 Join Anne and Kelli for Anne’s Birthday show and Beyond!

    Join Anne & Kelli for their 225th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast where they are podcasting from HOME! It’s also Anne’s Birthday Show! Hear all about the celebrations and how they differ in their feelings about birthdays.

    Next, they talk about their quick trip to Provincetown for Anne’s concert at the Post Office Café. They had several new experiences like taking the ferry from Boston to Ptown, celebrating 4th of July there and only staying 3 nights when they usually spend a week there every summer. They had a quick but fantastic time there with good friends.

    The biggest problem was when they returned to Boston to then fly to Ft Lauderdale to kick off Kelli’s summer R Family Vacations cruise, they ended up with multiple delays while already on the plane and had a screaming baby next to them for the entire trip. As you know, Anne is NOT a fan of any baby on a plane…not to mention a screaming one. You have to hear the story to believe it.

    Next, they talk about Kelli’s R Family Vacations cruise on the Celebrity Beyond roundtrip from Ft Lauderdale. It’s been 21 years of fantastic vacations that have created friendships and bonds that go beyond one week. Kelli talks about how wonderful it is to be on social media and see all of the friendships that have been made through R Family and how it feels to be the connector to so many wonderful people. This year was particularly special as Anne had some of her dear piano bar buddies join this cruise.

    Don’t forget to check out all of Anne’s upcoming tour dates including Rehoboth Beach on July 29th. You can find all of her tour dates at www.annesteele.com

  • Join Anne & Kelli for their 224th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast where they are podcasting from HOME! It’s also Anne’s Mom’s birthday the day the show airs! Happy birthday Sue Steele!!

    First, they talk about coming home after 2 weeks at sea and having to raid the freezer and get creative with food. Anne’s obsession with Trader Joe’s helped that process for sure.

    Next, they talk about the previous 2 weeks at sea where Anne was a Headline entertainer. She tells you all about how she meets the orchestra, runs the show with them and then performs 2 shows that same night. Also hear about what she will and won’t eat on a show day, the drama of wearing fake lashes and nails, some crazy mishaps with their room and the incredible crew and fellow entertainers they got to absolutely love.

    The cruise also included some work for Kelli as she was running Seth Rudetsky’s Broadway Cruise on the 2nd week. From Master Classes from Seth, to Broadway stars performing including Jennifer Simard, Christopher Sieber and Julie Benko the week was full of music. The weather was another story as there were very rough seas. So, of course Anne and Kelli spent their time in Bermuda doing a bar crawl!

    They also had lots of spare time so they played Five Crowns and Rummikub. They also binged the new season of Bridgerton, Top Chef and the new documentary I Am: Celine Dion which they highly recommend although it is very painful to watch.

    First, they catch you up on Kelli attending Proud Experiences, and LGBTQ travel show, in LA plus all the fun dinners they had with friends. Don’t forget Anne shopping for a new suitcase and discovering a store called Ross that has excellent discounted luggage! They also talk about the flight hope from LA when Kelli got upgraded and Anne didn’t but because of their agreement and Kelli had been working on that trip, so she took the Delta One lay flat upgrade!

    Next, they talk about Anne’s Mom’s apartment flooding and Ziggy coming back to stay while their daughter Vivi is doing her college internship in NYC. They also talk about Kelli’s Mom Melanie and sister-in-law Kath coming to visit. They cooked in the first night and made a Thai dinner including pad thai, chicken lettuce wraps, and vegetable gyoza. They of course served the dinner on Kelli’s grandmother’s china. They also played several rounds of the card game 5 Crowns. They actually came in town because of their son Blake and his fiancé Teresa had their Wedding Shower. It was Phantom of the Opera themed (because he proposed to her at intermission of that musical) and it was thrown by Teresa’s parents. There was so much food! For Kelli and Anne’s contribution they brought their bingo machine and called Phantom of the Opera BINGO! Also, during bingo breaks, Anne’s Musical Director Will told fun facts about Phantom. It was a super fun day and Blake and Teresa looked so happy.

    Finally, Anne talks about her follow up mammogram, apartment scouting, Anne’s neck trauma, getting recognized at Target in Jersey City, and seeing the musical SUFFS on Broadway. They encourage everyone to see SUFFS, a musical about the movement to get women the right to vote, because it’s the time to remind us all how important it is to vote and what a privilege it is to have that right.

  • Join Anne & Kelli for their 222nd NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast from their hotel room in LA where Kelli is attending Proud Experiences, an LGBTQ travel show. They are again jetlagged so buckle up!

    They arrived in LA from Chicago where Anne had 2 concerts at Davenport’s. She talks about how great it was to see so many old and new friends and to finally be back singing sinve she hasn’t played there since the pandemic. They also talk about some travel snafus they hit along the way like not being able to find and affordable hotel room because of a city-wide medical conference and so they had to find an Air B&B, Anne’s suitcase breaking on the flight and a bad seat companion. They did see Death Becomes Her with Megan Hilty and they loved it! They highly recommend seeing it when it moved to Broadway.

    Next, they talk about being home for 10 days before they went to Chicago and how good it was to spend time with their kids, Anne’s Mom and their close friends. Their daughter Vivi is home for the summer from college and doing an internship in the city so they are thrilled to have her home before her Senior Year. They hosted a big gay brunch at their apartment and had a blast. They went to a hibachi dinner with their good friends Jon and Steve to celebrate their son Jackson’s 9th birthday. Anne’s Mom Sue came over and spent the night and then Anne took her shopping and for lunch. Their son Blake and his fiancé Teresa came over for dinner and they helped stuff wedding invitations. Overall it was so lovely to be home with people they love.

    The last episode aired on Kelli’s birthday but it was pre-taped. On her actual birthday Anne had to have an epidural on her neck. The good news is that the procedure was fast and effective and they were headed home by 11am. What Kelli really wanted was to cook diner in their tagine that they bought when they were traveling in Morocco. Hear all about the recipe and how it worked out. If you have any tagine recipes they encourage you to send them through social media.

    They also talk about Kelli attending a special lunch hosted by Greg Koozer at Tiffany on Fifth Avenue. Later that night they were invited by their friend Charlie Rounds, the co-founder of RSVP Vacations and Brand G, to attend a Czech Tenors show at Carnegie Hall in celebration of new achievements for LGBTQ people in the Czech Republic. It’s hard to believe but Anne had never been to Carnegie Hall so it was a big thrill for her to finally be there.

    Lastly, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”. This is where they each pick a positive (neat) and a negative (on the rocks) thing that has happened to each of them since the last episode. They did not discuss their answers until they are recording the episode so you will hear their reactions live to tape! They also ask that YOU write them with your picks for “Neat or On the Rocks” or any other ideas you may have for new topics for discussion!

    First, they talk about the last 3 weeks that they spent with Anne performing as the Guest Entertainer on Atlas Ocean Voyages, a stunning intimate expedition yacht that is pure luxury.

You will hear about incredible people they met, food tours, an engagement, games with friends, train beer, Irish Pubs in every stop, a St Tropez beach club that changed the game, and a crew and company they will never forget.

    But you will also hear that Anne got a terrible cold, couldn’t find gummi bears, chicken fingers OR Nyquil, no train wine, a package store that doesn’t sell pringles and feeling underdressed at Cannes Film Festival. However, the flight home really brings it all home where they were upgraded to Delta One (AMAZING AND THANK YOU DELTA) and for some reason decided to binge Baby Reindeer all the way home. (terrible idea).

    Finally, they do their new segment called “Neat or On the Rocks”. This is where they each pick a positive (neat) and a negative (on the rocks) thing that has happened to each of them since the last episode.

  • Join Anne & Kelli for their 216th NEW episode of #ilovemywife podcast! They are back!

    After an almost 2 year break from podcasting, they are back! The last episode aired in June of 2022 when their lives were suddenly busy and full of travel and touring again. They knew that they had to take a break but they hoped it would just be a pause and not a permanent end. That is what happened.

    Along with Romaine from DNR Studios, they have come up with a new format. They are taking you on the road with them. Whether they are on a cruise ship, at one of Anne's concert tour cities, on a mega yacht, or in a hotel room YOU will be with them. It will be more focused on their lives and less guest focused, however that doesn't mean that when they meet up with interesting people along the way that they won't pop into a podcast here and there. They will again be working with their fabulous producer AJ at DNR Studios so that you will get the same quality you have come to expect from #ilovemywife podcast. They will air a NEW epiosde twice a month so about every 2 weeks or so. Some will be short and some will be long depending on how much has happened. This one is long because they had so much to tell you!

    In this epiosde they catch you up on what has been happening for them the last 2 years including officially becoming empty nesters, getting adjusted to their new home in Jersey City, Kelli rebranding her travel company R Family Vacations to KelliGreggTravel and all the exciting trips that have hosted and have to come, Anne's tour schedule and the cool events she has done over the past 2 years, plus just fun travel and concerts they have shared together.

    They are so glad to be back with you! Make sure to follow them on social media to stay connected and to find out when the new episodes will drop! As always you can stream on DNR Studios or you can listen anywhere you get your podcasts.

Now that life is up and going and Anne is back on tour and booking gigs on cruise and Kelli is booking lots of exciting travel and they are both traveling a lot, they have decided to press pause on the podcast for awhile.
