"It's terribly awkward. It's just the place that Christine and I are in," he said. "We're in a terribly awkward place. This is not the experience of people who are soulmates or people who even love and respect each other in a deep way. This is an experience of distance."

"I'm just having regret 'cause the whole damn situation is breaking my heart," he explains. "The whole thing with Isabelle doing the surgery, and the whole thing with my family and this disparity in behavior during COVID, is really, really, really hard on our family."
