Being married means having to put in more work — and not just on your communication skills.
Speaking to PEOPLE at theClive Davis Pre-Grammy Galared carpet on Saturday, Faith Evans and husbandStevie Jopened up about howmarried lifehad changed their relationship.
“I got to put in more work, know what I’m saying? I upped it from three to five times a day,” Stevie, a famed producer andLove & Hip Hop: Atlantastar, tells PEOPLE, making a suggestive comment about their sex life.
“I knew he was going to go there with it,” adds Evans. “I already knew.”
The couple — who each have a Grammy Award under their belts —tied the knot over the summer.
Evans, who has been nominated eight times, won in 1997 for her and Puff Daddy’s ode to the lateBiggie Smalls, “I’ll Be Missing You,” a song which Stevie produced. That same year, the producer took home a Grammy for his work on Puff Daddy’s first albumNo Way Out, on which “I’ll Be Missing You” appears.

“We actually just got rings and they’re very simple,” Evans tells PEOPLE. “We didn’t have rings until last week.”
“Week before last week, actually,” Stevie adds.
