The former wine auctioneer considered moving to Brazil to avoid going through a lengthy visa process for Juliana, but he couldn’t leave behind his two children. Michael currently splits custody of son Max and daughter Cece with his ex-wife.
"They’re extremely intelligent, very, very funny. They’re the center of my world," the proud dad said of his kids, who are closer in age to Juliana than he is.
When asked how they felt about their dad’s romance with the brunette beauty, Cece answered, "I was a little surprised. I didn’t actually think that, like, they would get married," to which Max responded, "Yeah, me neither."
The pre-teen added, "Me and Juliana are about 12 years apart. She’s too old to be his daughter, but, like, kind of young, too. She kind of looks like the age of someone that would babysit us or something." Great point, Max.
For what it’s worth, these two actually seem to be pretty good sports about the whole situation.
