The 39-year-old sportsman has been married to the 36-year-old model since 2009 and believes it is important for the pair to "go on a journey" to develop their marriage together.

He said: "It's always evolving in relationships. Everyone who's been married or been together for long periods of time, you grow and you find different ways to grow together. And I think it's just always being conscious of what both people are looking for in a relationship, and fulfilling each other's needs and supporting each other, and growing and loving each other in different ways. I think those things always evolve and change over time. Going on that journey together is an exciting part of life. You get to love people in different ways as you go through life. It changes when you're 25 and 35 and 45. I see my parents now, who are great role models - they're in their 70s. It's a very cool thing to see."

And the NFL player - who has Benjamin, six, and Vivian, three, with his wife - tries to spend as much time as he can with the supermodel.

He added to E! News: "I take her places where there's not too much going on, so you can just focus on each other and you and you can focus on catching up, wherever that might be. If we're close to the water, the beach is always great. But a lot of the times it could be at home, in the backyard."
