"We've been together for a long time, and I just knew I wasn't going to find a better partner in life than Lindsay. So, it just made the most sense. And I'd taken my sweet old time. Everybody else — let me put it this way — that knows Lindsay was like, 'What are you waiting for?' So, it was time.”

Days ago, he gushed over Lindsay on Instagram as he celebrated her birthday.
“It’s this one’s birthday today. Shes 46. She’s gonna be mad that I posted that first picture, but I needed everyone to know what bullshit I have to deal with everyday in that; THIS is how she looks when she WAKES UP! Everyday!... Anyway, needed to get that off my chest.”
He added, “Happy Birthday Lindsay! You are beyond anything I could have ever dreamed of to do life with… I can’t wait to see where this next year takes us and how many fun and lasting memories we create. Yous just the best.”
