I don’t feel the need to be seen as much, to party as much.But I ‘m more interested in building for my family and being a great role model for my son. My lifestyle has calmed down a bit. Fatherhood has been a truly amazing journey,” he says. “It also shaped the way; I behave and look at the world around me. I have discovered what love truly means beyond myself and to give that love beyond myself has been the best thing I can ever ask for.
