He said: ‘Something I’ve learnt is it’s never a good time to have kids,’ he said. ‘It took me a while to figure that out. It’s never a good time. You just have to buckle down and do it. It’s in the near future, so, hopefully. We’ll see.’
Chatting about his love-life last year, he told Daily Mail: ‘I’m not a single man but I just don’t put my love life out there that much.’
Back in 2016, he discussed his romance in an interview with People magazine.
He said: ‘We just got really serious, we are taking it one step at a time. I definitely want a family, though. For me, over the years, I’ve waited because I want to make sure it’s the right person.’
‘I’ve always said I want three kids. The other day I hung out with my buddy who has three kids and it was crazy. I was like, “Hmmmm do I really want three kids?” But yes, yes I do. I’m sure of it.’
