During his interview with People, Patrick admitted that he knew the jokes from his family would come. “They’re just going to make fun of me and pick on me and figure out every reason why I shouldn’t be,” he said, referring to his family, wife Jillian, daughter Talula, and twin sons Darby and Sullivan. “Which is good," he added. "They keep me young.”
