Phillips candidly expressed the challenges they faced, especially as a couple. Despite being in a happy married life for years, Phillips and Baldwin had a time when their relationship became terribly turbulent. She explained, "I’ve been with Billy for 32 years, and we have an awesome marriage, but we definitely had the hardest couple years of our marriage these past couple of years. It has been a real struggle.”
The singer attributed the difficulties to her newfound devotion to Jesus, describing it as an all-encompassing focus that Baldwin might not have anticipated, stating, “I think it’s because I just took the deep dive into Jesus, and I think he didn’t quite know what to do with that because it was kind of all Jesus, all the time.” Married with William Baldwin back in 1995, Chynna Phillips revealed that she and her husband split from each other for about six months. 
Another facet of their relationship discussed by Phillips was the apparent disparity in their interests. She revealed that Baldwin often felt a disconnect because they didn't share common passions. Sometimes he’s like, ‘You’re not into the things that I’m into. You’re not into politics, you’re not into wrestling, you’re not into the philanthropy things that I do.’ We did a couple of things together and that was amazing and very fulfilling, but we’ve never really found that one thing that the two of us can latch on to and do together as a team.”
This lack of shared interests has been an ongoing struggle for the couple. Despite the difficulties, Phillips expressed hope for the future. She mentioned her desire for 2024 to be a year where they discover shared activities that bring fulfillment to both of them, sharing, “So I’m praying in 2024 that we’re going to find that one thing that the two of us can do together that feels really fulfilling.”
