After a few years of finding himself again, Ken met the woman he would fall head over heels for and spend the rest of his life loving and doting on. After a few years of pursuing and dating her, Ken married Caroline Smith. The two became inseparable and spent each day enjoying walks, sharing the word, or cooking together.
