“I was not into this whole life I’m having now,” Taylor said of himself before marriage and his son’s birth.
“If you ask anybody I know or anyone knows me … I was a partier,” Taylor shared.

Host Scheana Shay expressed her admiration for the fact that the pair are “100% full-time parents” to their 17-month-old son with “no nannies.”
“I don’t how much longer it’s gonna last cause now, you know, it’s so hard in the world,” Taylor admitted, explaining, “I’m more on board now because he’s getting a little older.”

“We lasted till 10 o’clock,” he shared. “We had a beautiful dinner and 10 o’clock rolls around. I’m looking at my wife. It’s almost to the point where it’s almost uncomfortable. I’m looking at her like, I wonder how Cruz is doing.'”
