The couple welcomed their first child, Charlie, in November 2015.
In an interview with Stuff at the time, he said that his children won’t be receiving private schooling.
“It’s a long way away, at least five years away, but I certainly expect our kids will be going to local schools,” he said.
Their second child was born in 2018.
Before the birth of the second child, he said in an interview that he is planning to take up to four weeks paternity leave post the child’s birth.
“The main priority really will be to support the baby’s mum because the baby will be born by C-section,” he told the Weekend Herald at the time.
However, not much is not about their second child.
