Like we on honeymoon every single week, you know what I mean? We’re on live television and we just enjoy each other. We enjoy being together at this exciting time in life. So, I mean, we both grateful.”
He further added,
“We’re on cloud nine, man. We engaged, getting married soon, got a house and everything. So, it’s just a great time, man. And it’s good to be with someone who understands you as a person and you as the performer as well, you know, so we can always support each other.”
