I think everything will be great.” Then, later he went on Ellen and confessed, “I’m crazy about her… I think every couple has their difficulties.” Furthermore, explaining, “The only problem is, as you well know, we’re all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most.” But he proudly said, “We’re back stronger than ever.”
