Ricki Lake is trying to let go.
More than a week after her ex-husband, jewelry designer Christian Evans, committed suicide at age 45 amid his battle with bipolar disorder, Lake was still “in disbelief,” she tells People in this week’s issue. “I have some bouts of peace, but it’s hard to swallow that this was supposed to happen,” she says.

When jewelry designer Christian Evans committed suicide on Feb. 11, Ricki Lake wanted to honor his life — and their love.
Though she filed for divorce in 2014 after two years of marriage, Lake revealed that she and Evans had continued their relationship until last September amid his struggle with bipolar disorder. “”It wasn’t my comfort level to be together in secret,” she tells People in this week’s issue. “He wasn’t stable, and he was so fragile,” Lake says. “But I was still in love with him, so there was something romantic about it. I wanted to save him.”

Ricki Lake didn’t want to say goodbye.
Married to jewelry designer Christian Evans in April 2012, the actress and former talk show host was devastated to learn that he had taken his life on Feb. 11. Evans’s death at age 45 compelled Lake to reveal that he had been battling bipolar disorder — and that his manic episodes had led to the couple’s divorce in 2015 even though they continued their relationship until as recently as last fall.
“I have to spread the word about recognizing this disorder and getting treatment as soon as possible,” Lake tells People in this week’s issue.

Ricki Lake was a self-proclaimed “cynic” about marriage — but that was before Christian Evans came into her life.
After a messy divorce from Rob Sussman in 2005, the actress and talk show host, 48, didn’t expect to fall in love again. But when a mutual friend introduced Lake to the jewelry designer in 2010, the pair became inseparable.
“She’s my soulmate,” Evans told People in 2012.
The couple got engaged in August of 2011 and eloped on April 8 the following year in an intimate outdoor wedding that was secret, secluded and, “something just for us,” said Lake.

Actress Ricki Lake has ruled out having children with her new husband because she's enjoying the "freedom" of motherhood now her two sons are becoming more independent.
The former chat show host eloped with jewellery designer Christian Evans on Easter Sunday and wed in a beachside ceremony in California, with just the couple's dogs in attendance.
The Hairspray star's boys, Milo, 15, and Owen, 10, from her previous marriage to artist Rob Sussman, chose not to attend the ceremony, and Lake admits the new stage of parenthood is a welcome change.
The 43 year old tells Celebuzz.com, "We are not gonna have more kids. We have made that decision.
"When you fall in love, the fantasy of making a baby and all that is definitely appealing. But I also love this phase of my life, where my children are 15 and almost 11.
"It's really nice to have some freedom to be able to go away and have a balance of a fun kind of life with your husband and also with growing children."
Lake and Sussman divorced in 2003 after 10 years of marriage.

Lake has now revealed there were no guests at the beachside ceremony in California apart from the couple's pets, as her sons from her previous marriage decided not to attend.

Ricki Lake stopped by "The Rosie Show" Wednesday night to dish about her upcoming nuptials.
Lake told host Rosie O'Donnell that her wedding would be small: "I had this flash of me in my wedding dress shaking hands and meeting people for the first time," she said. "We both don't want to do that. We want to do something that's just for us."
The talk show host got engaged to Christian Evans, whom she once described as "a nobody but he's somebody to me," after dating for a year. Lake announced her engaged via Twitter in August, though she had previously said she was in no rush to walk down the aisle.
Lake has been married once before, to artist Rob Sussman, whom she divorced in 2005 after nine years of marriage. They have two sons together, Milo and Owen.

Ricki Lake came close to marrying a man she met online only to find out he was a "user and liar".
The TV host entered the world of internet dating two years ago and became "infatuated" with a Brit she met on the web.
She tells Newsweek magazine, "When I was single two years ago, I decided I wanted a boyfriend for my birthday. My friends thought I was crazy for online dating."
Lake admits the relationship progressed very quickly and she even met with immigration lawyers so she could marry her lover.
She explains, "I found this narcissist online and started a whirlwind relationship where I was delusional. I was with a guy who was a total user and liar. He was English and considered himself a poet.
"He was more charismatic than physically beautiful but I became infatuated with him very quickly. I was out of my mind in some ways. I wanted it so badly I lost all clarity... I was going to marry him so he could get a green card. I even went to England with him and met his mother. He was such a bad guy. I was the only one who didn't see the signs... I found out from my housekeeper that he would be nice to my children in front of my face but would cringe about them behind my back."
Lake soon realised the romance was doomed and ended the relationship: "After six weeks, I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise myself. I had lost all sense of who I was. I realised it was not working. As soon as I saw the light, it was over. I didn't cry a tear about this guy. I dumped him."
Lake, who has two children with ex-husband Rob Sussman, is now engaged to Christian Evans and admits it was her disastrous romance that helped her find her perfect man.
She adds, "I learned my own value. It's not about having someone. It's about having the right someone... Two years later, I'm with the most amazing man who is absolutely right for me. He's selfless and kind, and he's not looking to further his career through his lover. I'm with the right person. I had to go through a couple of dirt bags to get to him."...

Ricki Lake has said that she is "madly in love" with fiancé Christian Evans and can't wait to tie the knot. The couple announced their engagement in August after beginning their relationship during summer 2010. Talkshow host Lake told The Huffington Post that she did not expect to want to marry again after her 2003 divorce from Rob Sussman. "I just want to marry him. The fact that I'm saying that - a year ago I never would have imagined being in this place where I wanted to marry," she explained. "I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that. I thought, 'I don't need to be married, I'll be independent. I'll just date,' and then I met this amazing person. We really complement each other. I need him and he needs (more)...

Ricki Lake is getting hitched, y’all! Her now-fiance Christian Evans just popped the question and Ricki tweeted a confirmation saying, “Thrilled to share some happy news with you….. I’m engaged!” Congratulations to the couple! They’ve been together since last summer so he must have been a huge support when Ricki’s house burnt down in September last year. Obviously things have been on the up-and-up since then. This is the second marriage for Lake who was previously with artist Rob Sussman. She’s brightly optimistic about part deux of wedded bliss saying, “I’m totally in love. I’m happier than I’ve ever been.” How about some dates, venues, and other deet’s, guys? Mazel Tov!

She tells iVillage.com, "I thought about it. When you fall in love it's something you talk about. The idea of having a lovechild with him is amazing, and I loved being pregnant and giving birth, but raising children is so hard, and it gets harder and harder as you go along.
