Alia and I have been talking about children ever since we met. We want to have lots of children. She is back tonight. I am going to see her after two months, so we have lots of talking and planning (to do). We have been on the phone every day, dreaming about the future, what it’s going to be like. But till the day it happens, I don’t know how it’s going to be, but I am so excited,” he was quoted saying.
