The Trainwreck star had plenty of praise for her husband too.
‘They have such a beautiful bond, the two of them. Chris is so capable and kind and loving. He’s just completely surpassed whatever dreams I had of him being a dad.’
Meanwhile, the couple are lucky enough to have had a nanny with them during lockdown in New York, as Amy explains, ‘We have an amazing nanny. We have help. We’re so grateful for that.
Amy confesses it was nerve-wracking at first and she was a little defensive when they couple started cooking on TV
‘We watch TV together every night. She’s our friend and family. We love her and she loves Gene and tolerates us. We have a sweet scenario and we feel very lucky for our quarantine situation.’
Now, the duo are keeping themselves busy as Chris attempts to teach Amy how to cook in their new Food Network show.
