John was the latest guest on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast, and got candid about his evolving relationship with Chrissy.

He admits that he wasn’t ready to be the man that she needed him to be.

“I think I was more selfish then,” he said about the early days of their romance. “I wasn’t a great partner at the beginning of our relationship. Even though I was very into her and very excited to be with her. I was still selfish. I was in my mid 20s, still not ready to fully be the committed partner that I am now.”

John said that time, and patience from Chrissy, is why they are in a better place now.

“Once you really figure out that you love someone and you really love so much about them and you really want to make it work with that person, like you have to decide, I’m going to do the things that I need to do to be a good partner in this relationship,” he shared. “And I’ve just grown as a person ’cause of that too. When you stop being so selfish when you think about not only the joy you get from a situation and the pleasure you get from it, but you also think about your responsibly and your commitment in that situation. I think you just grow, and you mature. I think part of it is it’s just a matter of time. You need time to become that person you want to be.”
