Talking about what his morning routines looked like, Rory said he began his days with a walk to his daughter's school.

Indiana, the only daughter of the couple, was born with down syndrome and was initially supposed to be homeschooled by her late mother.

Rory explained that they had to come up with a new plan since her mother couldn't homeschool Indiana. He described the school as "an amazing opportunity" that met his daughter's needs.

"We repeated 'I love you' three times to each other, It's the last line of a song I wrote years ago called 'Josephine,' an imaginary love story between a husband and wife."
