He has always said that after retiring he wanted to get married, and have kids. And so he did. He got married to the model Hannah Davis. They became parents of three beautiful daughters. Two of his daughters also had the chance to be there when he got inducted into the Hall of Fame.

One of the reasons the documentary ‘The Captain’ came into being was because of his daughters. Because his daughters are young, they haven’t been a pretty big part of their father’s life. And he wants them to know about his life. He also wants them to always believe in themselves and their dreams, just like he did.
