“I was coming off of doing two jobs at the same time — I was doingThe Falcon and Winter SoldierandThe Resident, sort of burning the candle at both ends,” VanCamp told PEOPLE. “So the beginning [of lockdown] was very welcome. I was like, ‘Okay, I actually get to just sleep for a bit,’ which was amazing. Just being able to enjoy the quiet, enjoy my husband and my dog, enjoy being home, things that I hadn’t had for a really long time. I did not take that for granted at all. I loved every second of it.”
The Falcon and the Winter Soldierstar said she and British actor Bowman learned new things within the past year that they appreciate about each other.

“I don’t think we’d ever spent that much time together ever in 10 years we’ve been together. We definitely discovered what it’s like to just be together all the time, good and bad,” VanCamp said with a laugh. “I think it put a lot of relationships to the test and I think we’re very lucky, we like each other a lot.”
VanCamp, who along with Bowman largely keep their relationship private, said she appreciates her husband’s patience and positivity.
“I tend to be a little bit more on the broody side, a little bit more pensive and I don’t know, more of the realist,” she said. “He’s more of an idealist. It’s very nice to have that as a balance. I was very lucky to have such a positive person around all the time.”
