'I didn't really understand the definition of marriage. I wasn't ready for it, so I take responsibility. I can say I messed my first marriage up. I'm man enough to say that.'

Ever the funnyman, he couldn't resist joking: 'At the same time, that was when I was in the prime of my sexy, so don't blame me. That's when I was figuring it out.'

However he and Torrie, 30, who split in 2011 after eight years together are firm friends who co-parent their two children, daughter Heaven, 11, and son Hendrix, eight.

'I will say that me and my ex-wife, regardless of the problems we went through, are in an amazing place now where we're friends, we're great parents,' the Central Intelligence star explained.

Just too young: 'I got married at the age of 22. I was still all over the place,' the 37-year-old comedian dished, 'I messed my first marriage up'

Kevin also admitted that it was a long time before he felt ready to marry again.

'To make this big step, it took me some time,' he told Chelsea of Eniko. 'It took seven years. And then I was like, "You know what? She deserves it," because I can't keep just letting this walk around free,' he joked gesturing to his body.

'That's not fair to her. I got to lock this up.'
