The couple share two children, Sean and Ty, with Ty becoming a screenwriter in Hollywood. Chatting about their two sons, he continued: "Separate from anything as an actor, you hopefully take pride in who people are individually away from any camera just as people, as citizens. And both our boys have done well and hopefully made smart choices and are doing well daily, you know? Day by day, we have a lot of reasons to be proud of both of them. This is part of that."
