John took to Twitter this week to defend his wife against criticism she has faced following the arrival of their baby girl on 14 April."Funny there's no dad-shaming," the 37-year-old musician wrote. "When both of us go out to dinner, shame both of us so Chrissy doesn't have to take it all. We'll split it."
