She's investing, but she also loves, I mean, she's her class. She's the classroom mom for Olympia. She gets to spend so much of her time now, uh, being an active and super engaged mom for her kids.

And I can't help, and I've told her this too, can't help but feel like this is a chance for her to, she's on the other side of it now, but to live that life that she didn't really have, which was, you know, where your number one job as a kid is just to go to school, learn things, hang out with your friends. And who knows if Olympia keeps going with the tennis or the golf, we'll see.

But she's relishing that opportunity. And so that helps me a ton because, right, that's – ironically, that's the thing that I grew up with, the boring, typical suburban lifestyle that most people in my position, myself included, will spend a lot of their lives trying to maybe not get or run away from because they want something else.

And yet here she is having gone to the top of the mountain, achieved everything, and that's actually the thing she loves most. And so – How we make it work, it's the banal stuff. It's making sure we prioritize. It's trying to figure out and also decoding the differences. Obviously, we're an interracial relationship. I don't think that'll surprise anyone. And as a white dude...

married to a black woman, you have a societal gulf, right? Between us in terms of the ways we've experienced our lives, right? In the American hierarchy of things, like, you know, we have very different lived experiences. You just set aside, obviously, the fame, notoriety, queer stuff.

hardest and best element to the relationship where like the table stakes are we love each other we've made two incredible humans together we will do anything i mean believe me the two she i she jokes that i'm like the psychopathic dad like there's an armenian dad meme in here by the way like we're very protective of our kids but she's super mama so like we have things that we care so so deeply about that we know we're on the same team for and

And so it's probably the best way of all the ways to be checked on like a blind spot, let's say. It's best to have it come from someone who you know cares so much. And that's where the growth happens. That's the tension.

And so like if I say something or do something, and again, nothing crazy here, but like if I say something or do something and she's able to shine a light on and be like, hey, did you notice, blah, blah, blah, or hey, this is like – bringing up these things to help me have better awareness because look, I got two black daughters. I want to make sure I'm showing up the best way I can for them.
