How is your relationship with Bella and Connor [Nicole's kids with Tom Cruise]?[They're] fantastic. I just talked to [Bella, 14, and Connor, 12,] yesterday. A lot of people in that situation, it's not as fluid as it is for us. [The kids] have come out to Australia a few times. It's great. We all get along very, very well.

Are you ready to start your own family? I would love to. If that happens for us, that will be a real blessing. We're not not trying to have a child. I just need to say that clearly! (Laughs.) At the same time, like any couple, I'm just absolutely into my wife. I'm totally into my wife right now and very, very full and content, and I'm not without anything. So if it comes, it comes, and if it doesn't, I'm in heaven with my wife.
