She really realized that she has a really great husband &amp;#x2026;her first choice was her choice!&amp;#x201D;\r\n\r\nKeller, who signed the form allowing her then-underage daughter to marry a man in his 50s, says she&amp;#x2019;s never doubted Hutchison, now 54.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#x201C;Doug was so gracious and just said &amp;#x2018;I&amp;#x2019;m going to be a man here, and I&amp;#x2019;m going to let her explore and see if this is what she wants,&amp;#x2019;&amp;#x201D; the momager says. &amp;#xA0;\r\n\r\nThe couple is currently living on the same property again, and are planning to renew their vows by the end of this year.&amp;#xA0;\r\n&amp;#x201C;This time she doesn&amp;#x2019;t need my signature!&amp;#x201D; Keller jokes.&amp;#xA0;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
