Scott Foley reveals the secret to his 18-year marriage with Marika Domińczyk: conversation, connection, and the ease that comes with time spent together.
The Power of Conversation and Connection
Scott Foley, known for his roles in Scandal and Felicity, recently shared the secret to his enduring marriage with Marika Domińczyk. Speaking at the premiere of his new drama series, It’s Not Like That, Foley emphasized that his love language is “conversation and connection.”
“You know, any time I can feel more connected to my wife, to my kids, that usually comes through a conversation that I wasn’t expecting to have,” he told People. “And so for me, that’s where it all starts.”
A Marriage Built on Time and Ease
Foley and Domińczyk, who tied the knot in Hawaii in June 2007, have spent nearly two decades together. The actor reflected on the ease that comes with time, noting that after a decade of marriage, couples often feel a sense of permanence.
“You know, 18 years is a big deal,” he said. “I think once you get past the decade of marriage, you think you made it, right? You’re kind of like, ‘I think we’re gonna be together forever.’ There’s an ease with which time with a partner comes. And I think that we found that.”

Parenting and Partnership
The couple, who share three children—Malina, 16, Keller, 13, and Konrad, 11—have navigated the challenges of parenting together. Foley acknowledged that their long-term partnership has helped them manage the demands of raising a family.
“We’re parenting three kids, we’ve got teenagers, we’ve got a high school, a middle school, and a grade schooler right now. We’re all over the place,” he said. “And I think just the amount of time we’ve spent together allows us to manage that probably better than we would if it was not that amount of time.”
A Wedding Memory to Cherish
In 2023, Foley and Domińczyk shared their favorite wedding memory with People. The couple recalled a casual photo taken the night before their wedding, capturing a tender moment as they walked back to their hotel room in Lanai.
“We were walking back to our hotel room in Lanai, and Marika wanted a ‘last photo’ before we were married,” Foley said. “I’ve always thought that this really caught the true ‘us.’ I remember feeling so in love with her in that moment.”
