"My job is very demanding, and we're a few hours away from family, so it's not easy, but we're excited. We've got two beautiful children already. It just feels like we're completing the family."
Discussing how supportive his partner is, the actor added: "Steph is so supportive, even when it means long hours or being away. We work it out together and are more selective about what makes sense to pursue, but she holds the fort incredibly well."
"Any parent would feel that guilt. You miss moments. But thanks to camera phones and videos, you still get to see a lot. When I'm home, it's about being truly present – work can wait until tomorrow. Family is always the priority."

Do you fall in love hard and fast? Three signs you're an emophiliac – & five ways to break the destructive lust cycle

Have you ever been on a first date and felt like you've met your soulmate? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 From falling hard and fast to ignoring red flags, why emophilia could be your toxic dating trait Credit: getty If this happens often, you may have emophilia, AKA a tendency to fall in love quickly and with just about anyone. And experts warn it can have a negative impact on mental health, leaving people vulnerable and trapped in toxic relationships, or see them darting from one relationship to the next, constantly chasing the thrill of early attraction or that feeling of falling in love. 'When you first fall for someone, you get that rush of the feel-good hormone, serotonin,' says Sarah Louise Ryan, dating and relationship expert, matchmaker and psychotherapist. 'This phase of romantic love is really the rose-tinted glasses phase. You are falling for the newness of these just-discovered feelings, just as much as you're falling for the actual person. This is because new and different people bring out different parts of us.' There's nothing wrong with these emotions, though they do simmer down as we build a relationship. 'In reality, when that spark fades, that is when the real relationship begins,' says Sarah. 'But those with emophilia don't ever want that feeling to fizzle out, which can lead them into a volatile position romantically. They either never fully commit and move on to the next partner, or they date multiple people to discover who they have the biggest spark with, all in search of the rush.' The emotional fallout from this pattern can be huge. The good news is it's possible to stop and change your thinking and actions. I'm a dating expert - the 5 key signs your partner is cheating on you & the Instagram feature that'll tell you all you need to know Love At First Sight? But whatever happened to 'love at first sight', you might wonder? Genuine love at first sight is an instant attraction to someone you might share common values with, find intriguing and are physically attracted to. It can be with someone who feels safe and calm. But emophilia is falling in love with the feeling of lust, attention, validation and connection, rather than the person. 'That need for attachment can be intoxicating, but it's important to get to know the person you've fallen for on a deeper level,' Sarah says. 'You will feel anxiety when you're not getting that serotonin burst, but if you follow these steps before becoming emotionally attached so quickly, you'll feel better.' When Emophilia Becomes a Problem At a time when the dating world feels dire and 'true love' is hard to find, is it really all that bad if someone is so open to connection? The issue is that when emophiliacs fall, they tend not to question the relationship's long-term goals, values or red flags. This can make them either more likely to jump ship or get stuck in a relationship that was doomed from the start. 'Falling for risky partners may seem appealing, but it can be dangerous when their aim is manipulation and destruction,' explains Sarah. 'People with emophilia can be attracted to narcissists, who may lovebomb a new partner by showing excessive amounts of affection and attention. This would be ideal for a person with emophilia. Because they think they're in love, emophiliacs are likely to overlook warnings or advice, even from trusted family and friends. However, when red flags aren't addressed, over time they can become more problematic.' Why Do you Fall so Hard? Though the exact cause of emophilia is unknown, there are several possible theories. 'It is thought that low serotonin levels in the brain may contribute,' says Sarah. Serotonin is also implicated in conditions including depression and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). 'Some people may also be hypersensitive to oxytocin,' adds Sarah. Also known as the love hormone, oxytocin creates feelings of trust and a desire to care. Falling in love quickly is also a shared experience of people with ADHD, which may be linked with the disorder's symptoms of impulsivity. But it may just be a personality trait. For some, there is excitement to be found in the chaos, and boredom in the monotony. FIVE WAYS TO BREAK UP WITH EMOPHILIA Overcoming the need to chase the rush of falling for someone isn't easy, as many of our relationship desires are ingrained. 'I would ask an emophiliac: 'Is it working for you?'", Sarah says. 'If the answer is yes, and you're happy flitting from one relationship to another, keep doing what you are doing. If the answer is no, I'd recommend these tips.' 1. Go Cold Turkey If you are a serial dater, go cold turkey – including no sex or romantic relations – to focus on yourself. Discover the qualities you like in yourself and note the ways in which you are capable without having a significant other. Then, pick up conscious dating when the time is right. 'When you find the confidence to make the right choices, you will no longer let your drive for a feeling choose for you,' says Sarah. 'It will be hard work, but worth it.' 2. Spot The Red Flags Some red flags are universal. For example, a lack of respect or signs of attempting to control another person. However, others will be more specific to you. For example, how do you feel about their financial situation, living arrangements, family set-up or beliefs? It's easy for a friend to say: 'That's a red flag', but ask yourself if it really is for you. Write down your deal-breakers, then ensure when connecting with someone that you ask the questions that will unveil these warning signs. 3. Note What Hasn't Worked Sit back and really think about the patterns you have fallen into with each romantic partner. What happened? Where did it go wrong? Self-awareness is important in the decision-making process. If necessary, write out an action plan for the next time someone catches your attention. 4. Listen To Friends You may get so caught up in the rush of a new partner that you forget the concerns of those closest to you. Take time to speak to a family member or friend who knows you well and has historically given you honest advice. Run through any worries or ask for feedback on new partners. Your friends don't have to love or even like your partner, but if they have concerns about them, it's worth hearing them. This can be a failing for people with emophilia, who can only see the positives of a new crush. 5. Consult A Therapist Therapists or counsellors can help you to understand and manage emophilia. 'Therapists help bring you into the here and now and find internal validation, rather than seeking external validation from others,' says Sarah. 'That means that those with emophilia can consciously connect with themselves and with others when dating.'

Yellowstone star, 54, marries weather presenter fiancée, 34, in Vatican wedding
Yellowstone star Josh Lucas, 54, has tied the knot with his 34-year-old fiancée Brianna Ruffalo in the Vatican. The actor, known for his roles in films including Sweet Home Alabama and Ford v Ferrari, and weather presenter Brianna Ruffalo announced on Friday that they had said their vows at the official residence of the Pope in Rome, Italy. Brianna, who works for ABC7 in Los Angeles, captioned an Instagram carousel from their special day: 'Mr and Mrs Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city.' She shared a selection of snaps from their ceremony inside one of the chapels, which showed Josh planting a kiss on her inside the church and photos of them posing outside the famous St Peter's Basilica. 'I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful,' Josh wrote in the comments section as others rushed to share their congratulations, including Brianna's ABC7 colleagues. He also shared photos on his account as he thanked people for who helped 'make the dream of wedding in the Vatican come true'. 'Congratulations my friend. This is the good stuff,' commented White Lotus star Walton Goggins while Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Alison Janney shared her good wishes and House of Cards' Michael Kelly added: 'Perfect!!! Congratulations yall!!!' Brianna gave a hint at what it entails to get married in the holy location – something only open to Catholic couples – in a follow-up post on Saturday evening, where she shared a gorgeous portrait of her and her husband posing on a balcony outside together in their wedding finery, heads together. 'We are grateful to the many people who helped us get to this moment in the Catholic Church,' she began. 'I am so thankful for Father Winters at the parish I grew up in, and Sister Angelica at the archdiocese of Los Angeles – as well as several others within the archdiocese. 'We also absolutely couldn't have done this without our stellar wedding planning team who coordinated with the Vatican. Thank you for making our wedding day so beautiful and easy.' Upon announcing their engagement last July, the American Psycho actor – who has recently delighted fans by portraying the young version of Kevin Costner's character John Dutton on smash-hit cowboy show Yellowstone – shared that he was 'grateful and thrilled' that Brianna had agreed to be his wife after he popped the question during a romantic Italian holiday. The happy couple, who had been together for almost two years, shared their news on Instagram, with a tearful Brianna laughing as she showed off her diamond ring while musicians played Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love. Josh captioned his post: 'For the last 2 years in every way and every day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole. 'I am so grateful and thrilled she said 'Yes'. I WAY love you Brianna. Thank you to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.' Meanwhile, Brianna said that accepting Josh's proposal was the 'easiest and best question' she'd ever answered. She wrote on her own page: 'Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life… and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we've never experienced – on every level. This was the easiest and best question I've ever answered. So, here's to forever with my love, my best friend. I can't wait to keep living this life with you.' Josh was previously married to ex-wife Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, with whom he shares 13-year-old son Noah. The former couple were engaged six weeks after meeting in 2011, marrying in 2012 and then divorcing in 2014. More Trending He previously joked that Brianna is 'fully' on the side of Patrick Dempsey's character Andrew Hennings in his classic 2002 rom-com Sweet Home Alabama. The movie sees Reese Witherspoon's Melanie Smooter leave her fiancé Andrew for Josh's character Jake Perry at the end of the film. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'In [Brianna's] mind, she's like, 'But you're the guy that kind of ruined their relationship!' 'The funny thing is once she said that, all these people have come up to me and been like, 'Yeah, I was Team Patrick too.'' Got a story?

Two I'm A Celebrity legends 'set to return' for epic All Stars series
The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa all stars series is officially returning to ITV later in 2025—and not one but two legendary jungle stars are in talks to come back. Starting in 2024, I'm A Celebrity… South Africa reunites old campmates from the ITV game show. This time, however, they're trading the Australian jungle for the desert. Last series saw the likes of Shaun Ryder, Gillian McKeith, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, and Jordan Banjo giving up luxuries for a gruelling challenge once more. The competition was ultimately won by Myleene Klass, who had originally finished second during the show's sixth series almost 20 years ago… but now, two more famous faces are coming for her crown. According to reports, beloved King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp is close to signing on the dotted line with ITV bosses. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. As per The Sun, Harry, 78, who became the oldest-ever winner in 2018 and was paid £500,000 for his stint, will fly back out for round two in autumn before the series airs in the New Year. 'It's going to be a real coup,' a source told the paper. 'Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.' The football icon's win in the main series was watched by 11million people, with the nation reduced to tears as he was reunited with his wife, Sandra, on the bridge after, having frequently declared his love for her while in camp. Harry's first run for Jungle champ made him one of the programme's high earners, but the likes of Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage still come out on top, having received a mega £1.5million for their signings. And Harry's people are remaining tight-lipped on his career plans currently, as a spokesperson for the sports star said in response to the rumours: 'This is speculation.' Meanwhile, there's another huge name already attached to the upcoming South Africa series… and it's Gemma Collins. The Towie star and TV personality, 44, is one of the most treasured personalities on British TV, and ITV is apparently hoping she'll boost viewing figures again this time around. Gemma infamously only managed three days in the Jungle when she was last on the show and made no secret of how much she hated every second. 'People who murder get treated better than this,' she famously said before quitting. 'That's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.' Gemma's tears and tantrums gave social media a meme collection that still gets used today, so it's no surprise she's wanted back. A source told The Sun previously: 'She hated it first time round, but knows it would be TV gold for her fans if she gave it another go. 'The discussions could go either way, but signing her would be a huge win for execs.' For Gemma fans hoping she'll give I'm A Celebrity a second try, the recent rumours line up very nicely with comments the Dancing On Ice star made in 2019. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, she said: 'I will never forget getting the call. Looking back, I don't feel I was ready for that show. I was new to TV; I was the underdog on Towie. 'I wasn't the best-looking girl, I didn't have a model figure, I was this car girl from Romford selling cars. I was being put in the Jungle, and in hindsight, I wasn't ready for it.' She continued: I felt hugely out of my depth—I was petrified. If I was to go back now, I've got more experience. I've got a tougher skin now, and I think that's where the GC came into play. If they asked me back, yes, I'd go back.' Things didn't get off to a good start when Gemma went into the jungle in 2014, firstly refusing to parachute into camp with the rest of her teammates. She then withdrew due to panic attacks and later said that her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Moss, had 'severely beaten' her the night before she joined. The reality star said that ITV advised against her entering at first, but Gemma insisted she didn't want to waste the opportunity of a lifetime. Alexander, now 44, was eventually jailed for 21 months in 2019. More Trending Gemma told the Everything I Know About Me podcast: '[There was] all the embarrassment of like, you know what the TV programmes were saying, 'Gemma Collins left the Jungle, she was hungry, she was this.' And it wasn't my fault. 'I can remember lying in my flat where I lived and just thinking, I just want to die. I haven't done anything wrong. I've left the Jungle because of something that happened to me.' ITV has been contacted for comment. I'm a Celebrity… South Africa will return to ITV1 and ITVX early next year. Got a story?
