00:00How has parenthood changed your relationship with Heather?

00:03Oh, good question.

00:04I mean, it's completely changed our dynamic, you know?

00:06But I mean, we've been parenting Taylor and Brayden

00:08since, honestly, the week we met,

00:11where before, you know, half the time it was parent life,

00:13and half the time it was me and her.

00:14So it's obviously been an adjustment,

00:16because now it's full-time parents.

00:19But it's brought us closer together

00:20in so many different ways.

00:21And, you know, together, we're standing there,

00:23and we're looking at this thing that we created

00:24that we're so in love with and so obsessed with

00:27that it's a great feeling.

00:28Yeah, I know that she spoke out and said that

00:30baby number two for you guys is a point of contention.

00:35How do you feel about it?

00:37You know, we're in negotiations.

00:40It's like a real estate negotiation.

00:42You know, for me, like, listen, I love being a dad.

00:44Everybody knows I love being a dad.

00:45And what's most important to me is being a good dad.

00:48And being a good dad is showing up to everything,

00:51being there, being supportive,

00:53going to all the things, right?

00:54And at some point, you start running out of time.

00:56I'm filming shows, I'm running business,

00:59I have three kids, I have...

01:01So I don't know if I have the capacity

01:03to take on more right now.

01:05And that's my only concern.

01:06Sure, yeah.

01:07She said that you guys have been doing

01:08some couples therapy.

01:09How did you feel like that's really helped you guys

01:11work through some of the issues?

01:13Yeah, well, we've been doing the couples therapy

01:15for a while, and that was even before

01:18having the conversation about the baby.

01:19And the reason we actually started the couples therapy

01:21is because friends of ours have been going for 30 years,

01:23and they said it's the best thing they ever did

01:25for the relationship.

01:26So what we started doing is going to couple therapy,

01:28not to fix something that's broken,

01:31but to prevent something from breaking.

01:33So yeah, it's like taking care of the injury

01:36before you get injured.

01:37No, it's so true.
