‘The whole crew stayed in Peppers in Broadbeach while she was filming and she moved into a home just so she could take him. He’s very, very spoilt,’ he told the Gold Cast Bulletin.
‘She lives in Ohio and he basically travels with her wherever she goes including when she’s doing publicity or filming.’
