Maury Povich and Connie Chung are enjoying a rare date night out!

The couple stepped out together to attend the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards. Povich is being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award on Saturday, with Chung presenting.

For the outing, which was held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, Povich, 84, wore a traditional black tuxedo. Chung, 77, opted for a hot pink blazer and black pants. She accessorized the look with dangly earrings and a white clutch.

Before receiving his Lifetime Achievement award, Povich — whose daytime talk show Maury ended in September 2022 —took the stage to honor the evening's Gold and Silver Circle Inductees, Vernee Watson, Al Schwartz, Christina Knack, Tanya Hart and Patrick Weiland. The Gold and Silver Circle is a society of honor and those who get inducted "have performed distinguished service within the television industry, setting standards for achievement, mentoring, leadership and professional accolades for 50 or 25 years."

Povich and Chung have been married since 1984 and share son Matthew, 28.

In 2020, the two looked back on their love story with PEOPLE, reminiscing on their early beginnings and what had gotten them this far.

"In 1969, I was a copygirl at a little TV station in Washington, D.C. and he was a big star and I was just a kid," Chung recalled of her first interaction with Povich. "I would rip the wire copy off the machine and give it to Mr. Povich. He was very gruff and very matter-of-fact. He never looked up. I kept thinking, 'Maybe someday he'll acknowledge that I'm a human being.' I worked there for two years and then I left to launch my career — and I left him in the dust."

"Several years later, after bouncing around the country from job to job, I ended up in Los Angeles by 1977, and at that time, I was the second banana to Connie," said Povich. "Connie was the big anchor star at the CBS affiliate and I was her co-act before they cleaned house. Because Connie was the only person I actually knew in Los Angeles, I always said the way to get to Connie's heart is first, she pities you, and then she can love you. She pitied the fact that I was fired."

The pair went on to date for the next six years before tying the knot in front of 65 of their closest friends and family. Povich and Chung credit playful banter and open communication as key to their romance in good times and bad as they supported each other through career upheavals, infertility struggles and the adoption of their son Matthew in 1995.

"Whatever discussions or arguments go on during the day, once the head hits the pillow, it's over and not to be continued the next morning. It is not on my mind," Povich said of their tip to marriage success. "But we've always respected each other's careers and we've always respected each other's space and values. There's no need for any do-overs. Maybe that's the reason why we're still married."

In turn, Chung joked that she holds "grudges and I need to continue to argue it out, whatever it is," before emphasizing, "I would go back and relive every moment."
