He mentioned: "That's absolutely something I want: wife, kids, building a family." Drawing parallels between personal and professional fulfilment, Chris opined: "Most of the best artists...it wasn't the work they made [that they are most proud of], it was about the relationships; the families they created, the love they found, the love they shared."

Maybe it’s about trying to find someone that you’re looking to spend your life with."
