I&#x27;d never had one single shadow of a doubt that it was her. No one ever made me feel the way I feel with her.

I said, &#x27;You&#x27;re going to be my greatest teacher. You&#x27;re going to be the one that teaches me about love. You&#x27;re going to be the one that teaches me about what it means to be strong, what it means to love, what it needs to be kind.&#x27; And funny enough, it has turned out that way,” he previously shared.</p>
