Since I met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables. She will very rarely deviate away from there.”

He went on to say that the only time he remembers her eating something from his plate was when she was pregnant with their daughter, Harper.

“… It was the most amazing thing,” he said. “It was one of my favorite evenings. I can’t remember what it was, but I know she’s not eaten it since.”
