That&#8217;s the world we live in, and I think she&#8217;s amazing in how she handles that kind of stuff. It was more the family stuff was built around it, flowing on to other family members who don&#8217;t particularly see that sort of stuff,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Head also praised his wife for staying calm throughout the episode, adding, &#8220;Everyone forgets about it in a few days&#8217; time.
