However, there is a challenge in finding time for each other — but of course, they do. «I mean, the schedule is always packed, and it’s always, you know, it’s just hard for someone who travels a lot to fight for time together and make sure you spend enough time together and block out what each wants and just be, to have a moment that belongs only to us», - he told PEOPLE in July 2023, when «Barbie» premiered.
In fact, he revealed in a Valentine’s Day post in 2024 that he flew from Tokyo to attend the Super Bowl in Las Vegas with her. «Happy Valentine’s Day, dear 🤍 I would fly from Tokyo to your Super Bowl any day ;)», - he captioned a photo of the couple at the big game on February 14
