"I’ve done some pretty lame romantic things. Let me start there," the dad-of-three confessed. "Once for Mother's Day, I had someone come in and make her eggs benedict. She hates eggs so that wasn’t very romantic. I did kidnap her once and told her we were going to Chick-fil-A. We went to Montreal for dinner. She wanted Chick-fil-A. You’re going to have to ask her. I don’t know."
