He admitted that it’s “not easy being married to an actor” and that it’s “challenging and hard” for his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their three children, Keen, Bella, and Odette.
He said that he tries to balance his work and family life, but sometimes he has to be away for long periods of time. He said that he is thankful for his wife’s understanding and support, and that they have a strong bond.
