Q. WOW, YOU'RE REALLY AS HANDSOME AS BROOKLYN SAID. I HAVE TO ASK. WHAT MADE YOU TWIRL HER UNDERWEAR AROUND YOUR FINGER AT THE AIRPORT?
A. Thank you for the compliment (blushing). I was goofing around. I could tell she was embarrassed, so I wanted to lighten the mood.
Q. WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU'D FALLEN IN LOVE WITH BROOKLYN?
A. The way my son fell in love with her, and she loved him right back. Right then and there, I knew I was completely open and committed to her.
Q. I ASKED BROOKLYN THIS QUESTION, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW YOUR ANSWER.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
A. I used to think my greatest fear was not accomplishing career goals and superficial things like that. Once Brooklyn came into my life, I'd say it's not being the man, she needs when it really counts. She's given me so much and I know I could never do enough to repay her. But showing up for our family and being exactly what she needs in any capacity of her life is my goal. I never
want to disappoint her. That is my greatest fear.
Q. THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S THE LOVE FOR ME. MY LAST QUESTION BEFORE I LET
YOU GO. HOW DID YOU OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF BEING WITH SOMEONE WITH
HUNTINGTON'S?
A. I had to let my heart lead me and get out of my head. Brooklyn is more than worthy of being loved without conditions and fears. She's my person.
