While revealing about the 40-year-old star had shoulder problem amid the filming for Home Town, Erin revealed, “There’s only one episode where his shoulder is a part of the story.”

“At the beginning, when he had the surgery, that was the episode we were working on and so after that it has to just not exist, cause it gets a little redundant to have shoulder problems in every episode for a whole season,” she added.

During the interview, the couple also revealed that they faced a mishap during a speaking engagement at a Southern Baptist college a few days after Ben’s surgery.

Ben, who underwent the shoulder operation in March, recalled, “I took my [pain] medicine right before I went in and it hit while I was onstage.”

“My confidence soared, and I could not keep a train of thought, the whole time I knew what was going on,” he added.
