On Thursdayโ€™s Good Morning Britain 32-year-old Australian actor gushed about his wife of five years and mother to his three children.

โ€œIt did happen quick and it just felt right, it made sense,โ€ Chris said about his wedding to Spanish actress Elsa whom he met in 2010 and married in December that same year.

โ€œThere was no great plan to any of it to be honest,โ€ the former Home and Away actor said. โ€œWe were on holiday and we said, โ€˜why donโ€™t we get married too?โ€™, and then the next minuteโ€ฆ There probably should have been some planning but it all worked out.

โ€œHonestly, we had both our families on holiday at the same time, just randomly, and we said this is a good opportunity with everyone together so we just did it.โ€

Chris and Elsa seem happily settled with their children in Byron Bay on the NSW north coast and of family life, a down to earth Chris described fatherhood as โ€œrefreshingโ€.

โ€œItโ€™s not about you anymore which is refreshing and my kids are hilarious and insane and crazy โ€“ itโ€™s good,โ€ said Chris.

โ€œYou go from press tours and work and then straight back into reality and youโ€™re handed a child with a nappy.โ€
