In a Snapchat video, Veekee responded to the troll, asserting that marriage involves sharing a life together. She emphasized that she and her husband had deliberately built their lives around each other, stating, \"My life is his life, he is me and I am him.

Everything he is, is mine.\" Despite the criticism, she vowed they would continue attending public events together. The designer humorously described her husband as her \"personal handbag\" while showing clips of their time together.",
