"He definitely had disappointed me in the past so there was this real conflict. And I finally agreed to go over there and the day we got there and we landed I got offered another sitcom and he said, 'Turn it down, I want you to be with me' and that was the moment like the fork in the road."
"Like no one had ever offered me a series before, I had to work hard and I said no to it. And he said it was in that moment that he said he knew that he would always protect me and always take care of me. But I didn't know it at the time!""
And Ayda loves British people's sense of humour.
Speaking on her podcast, Postcards from the Edge, she added: "I didn't really know much about anything until Rob grabbed me and dragged me to the other side of the world. I was kind of like you because my Grandmother lived in Paris my whole life so Paris was my favourite city."
"And when I was dating in LA, which was awful and tragic, I always felt like a square peg in a round hole, like I was crazy too and no one got my sense of humour. Everyone was so literal, there was no outside the box really and then I met Rob and he had this wicked sense of humour that was textured and layered and had dark and light."
"And he kind of opened my world and when I got to England I felt like I had found my spirit animal people. Because they tell it to you how it is, none of this fake b*******. They'll be s****y to your face and great to your face and I love that!"
