Meghan Trainor has been going through "heavy therapy" to revive her marriage to Daryl Sabara.

The 32-year-old pop star has been married to the actor since 2018 and they are parents to sons Riley, five and Barry, two, as well as daughter Mikey, who arrived via surrogate in January, but Meghan has revealed focusing on parenting duties led to their relationship being "pushed to the side" and they became trapped in a vicious cycle of arguments.

Meghan told Us Weekly: "I'm in heavy therapy. I was in marriage counseling while doing this album [Toy With Me] ... We're so good now that I recommend it to everyone.

"But that's where having the young kids, we learned, one through five, your marriage gets pushed to the side, and then you're like: 'Why are we fighting? We're on the same team' ...

"We started marriage counselling because we realized when we were even having little, tiny arguments, we were living in full different realities. We would even say in our fights: 'Hey, we're not even fighting about the same thing'."

Meghan went on to explain they have learned never to go bed without resolving an argument and that communication is "key" - insisting they now try to talk everything through properly so there isn't a build up of resentment.

She added: "You just can't hold anything in because it builds resentment, and resentment is a relationship killer".

Meghan went on to insist their relationship is now much healthier and the arguments have pretty much stopped.

She said: "Now we can look at each other and read each other's minds," she explained. "We never bicker anymore, and we're always there for each other on a different level."

It comes after Meghan credited her husband and their therapist with supporting her when she was dealing with vicious criticism from online trolls over her weight loss and her decision to use a surrogate for the birth of her daughter.

During an appearance on the Not Gonna Lie podcast, Meghan shared: "I didn't look [at the comments]. "I knew fully - because it was after all the hate I was already getting for changing, just for looking different because I took care of myself - so I was like: 'Oh, they hate me now. They ain't going to like this'.

"And it was a cloud of tears every night of just worry. I want my daughter to come to this world and not everyone attack her for the way she got here.

"All of that went through my head. But my team was with me, my therapist was with me, everyone was so supportive. My husband was like, 'Everyone can suck our a**.'"

Meghan added that they decided to find a surrogate because she was having health problems. She explained: "[We had] heartbreaking, big decision making to do. And I was struggling with my health and almost towards an autoimmune disease.

"So there's so many conversations back and forth. Then we were like, the safest way is to do it through a surrogate."
