'He's not perfect. He's a man. Luke is everything that a mom and dad go to bed at night and pray for for their daughter. Are they gonna get married tomorrow? No,' he told the publication at the Mondrian Hotel.
'It's a beautiful relationship that they have and it's a relationship built on mutual respect and understanding of each other's careers and endorsing each other's careers and supporting that and being faithful and loyal to each other,' he added.
He went on to explain: 'They have a great foundation and would we be OK if it goes into something more later on that's permanent? Absolutely because we prayed for someone like Luke to come into her life.
