‘I’m not sure there is a secret… every relationship has its hurdles, and we all react differently to situations so it’s important to talk things through and keep an open mind,’ he said. 

‘Having such busy schedules, it’s also important to us to set aside time as a couple, and as a family.’

And while Buddy may not be planning to have any more children in the immediate future, he’s still keeping his options open.
