In comments made to BuzzFeed, Heidi Cruz's husband, Sen. Ted Cruz, released a statement about a period of their lives that the couple has not previously discussed in public.

'About a decade ago, when Mrs. Cruz returned from D.C. to Texas and faced a significant professional transition, she experienced a brief bout of depression,' said Jason Miller, an adviser to the senator in the statement.

'Like millions of Americans, she came through that struggle with prayer, Christian counseling, and the love and support of her husband and family.'

Mrs Cruz, who is highly successful lawyer in her own right and served under Condoleeza Rice in the National Security Council, is said to not want to speak about her recovery as she doesn't want to show off her own happy ending, a source told BuzzFeed.

The power couple married in 2001 after meeting while campaigning for George W. Bush in Texas.

They have two daughters together and Mrs Cruz has left her high powered job at Goldman Sachs to join her husband on the campaign trail in his bid to become the Republican nominee for this year's presidential elections.
