“It’s not that she’s among the finest sports activities broadcasters, she’s among the finest human beings I’ve come throughout on this life.
“I’m very a lot in love along with her and I plan on marrying her, so the factor that occurred with Jamie, it’s part of the job, but it surely’s not the primary time he’s stated one thing out the best way like that, but it surely’s the primary time he stated one thing in reference to presumably disturbing a family or disturbing a {couples} chemistry
“It was a really minute factor, however her being irritated by it a little bit bit is what actually bought to me. Him simply saying it and being that man who all the time makes these selecting at you jokes wasn’t actually an enormous deal to me in any respect. It’s solely an enormous deal if Kate is upset.

However I believe Jamie apologised, not simply to Kate however to the staff, and one factor you may’t do is knock a person who admits he was unsuitable. In that regard I’ve excessive respect for him.
“The one drawback I’ve with issues like that’s if Kate feels some sort of method about it, she dealt with it very nicely. I assumed Jamie was simply being himself, typically he can have a runny mouth, typically he’s not that good at studying the room, typically he’s somebody that may make past sarcastic jokes and it comes throughout as digging a little bit bit, particularly should you’re coping with a girl.”
