Colin, 31, also recently spoke out about his special-needs 4-year-old son James.

James was born with a rare form of cerebral palsy called Angelman Syndrome (AS), “a rare neuro-genetic disorder named after a British paediatrician, Dr. Harry Angelman, who first described the syndrome in 1965. AS is characterized by intellectual and developmental delay, speech impediment, sleep disturbance, unstable jerky gait, seizures, hand flapping movements, frequent laughter/smiling and usually a happy demeanor.”

Despite the heartbreak the syndrome has caused, Colin said that he is “incredibly blessed to have him in my life.”
