It’s been more than 40 years of us, together, we have literally grown up. I still remember, we started dating when she was in 8th grade, and I was in 11th, and after a couple of years, we got married. Our journey has been amazing, my family is like my team. I really feel blessed to have a family like this where I can work and sing with my kids and spend time with my wife.”
