Recently, Aljaz opened up about the backlash he received following the family’s decision. Aljaz told Heat magazine of the backlash: “I’ve always been kind about not reading the comments. I feel like if you’re in the entertainment business, because of my talent, all of a sudden my personal life is there for everyone to judge or have an opinion.

“All I want to do is be a good father and a good husband, and that’s a priority for me and I’m going to do it the best way I can.”

Little Lyra will be one year old next month.
