Before getting into his career, the former 50 Shades of Grey actor discussed what it’s like being a father to three daughters: Dulcie, 10, Elva, seven, and Alberta, four.
Hoda Kotb, 59, asked Jamie what the best part of being a father was and he replied, “All of it.”
He continued, “The monumental challenge of it, you know,” and then joked about never seeing his daughters from the front as he and his wife, Amelia Warner, keep their identities private.
“It’s the best,” Jamie said, “I don’t know any other way, you know, three girls, so I just don’t know how I’d be as a boy dad or I’m not sure if I could deal with the energy.
“I’m someone who has a lot of energy anyway so we wouldn’t cope if there were three hyper boys.”
Hoda chimed in saying that Jamie seemed to be a sensitive person.
The Hollywood actor agreed, “That is beneficial to be a girl dad. I just love it. It’s mad! Any version of two of them it’s usually okay, and throw the third in and they’re,” he clashed his fists together.
‘SO ROMANTIC!’
Fellow Today host Jenna Bush Hager, 42, then asked Jamie about Amelia and how they met.
“We met on steps in our friend’s backyard in LA,” he exclaimed,
She was sat on a step and I was introduced to her. A few years later I proposed to her on those steps.
He went on to explain that his friends had since moved out of their home, but chipped off a bit of the step where the two met as a keepsake.
The two US daytime TV stars swooned over his story, calling it “romantic.”
Jamie and Amelia met in 2010, got engaged in 2012, and tied the knot in 2013.
