Loved how you opened your heart in this video. On your videos we always get to see your funny and entertaining side. So in this one, opening up about your personal life you come across as a real humble, sincere and authentic person. Great video.

[@tams805]

To be fair, it doesn't sound like they were right for each other. Not necessarily on a personal level (that's not really any of our business), but from a practical point of view. His career is travelling a lot and filming, so if his partner isn't prepared to do quite a lot of both, then it's not likely to last.

[@sleepyoldtiger372]
