Eight months before that, the American Idol host hinted that he was thinking about starting a family with Aubrey. “I start thinking about blocking off certain times in my month or year or week to focus on my personal life,” he shared. “I do want to have kids, but I haven’t even gone down that path, which is nuts at my age.
