"We spend a lot of time in the gym together. We both love food. We both are really into our fashion - that's another thing that we spend a lot of time talking about. The way we dress and what styles of clothes ... We send each other pictures of outfits and stuff like that. We are very girly in that. Batting is another thing where we click. It's unbelievable batting with him. He's one of my favorite guys to bat with. He brings out so much energy in me."
He continued:
"He has been a terrible influence on me when it comes to watches. But he's got a real passion for watches. There's just so many things. Obviously now, it's family. I've got two daughters. He's got a second child as well now. Our wives and kids, having them at similar ages, really connected on that front as well
