I'm inclined to think that the ONLY reason why Trimspa would comment on the "marriage" is for some legal reason of their own like where they have an insurance policy on her where they and Howard as next of kin (husband) are beneficiaries.
When you research that guy, you find that he has more than one name, more than one company that's been sued (I know the state of NJ was after one of his companies for fraud.) and more than one occupation......as he billed himself as a hypnotist at one time...
So maybe the policy isn't in the "TrimSpa" name.
(Not that I believe he'd tell the truth to Greta anyway)
