And while the pair’s Instagram is peppered with sweet smiling snaps of the adorable family, Matty J admitted that being a dad comes with its challenges.
“Becoming a parent is all-consuming,” Matty told 9Honey.
“It’s a bit like running a marathon. Nothing can prepare you for the level of exhaustion you’ll feel… or the highs.”
He went on explain that welcoming his two daughters into the world transformed him.
“Being in the delivery suite as your child enters the world, tears were streaming down my face,” Matty said.
“I don’t think anything can top that.”
“I’ve changed a lot since becoming a dad,” he added. “I’m even more emotional. I cry a hell of a lot more. I don’t get a lot of sleep anymore. And I’m a lot less self-indulgent.”
But amid the mess, tantrums and sleepless nights, the reality star revealed that fatherhood has strengthened his bond with fellow Bachelor alum, Laura.
“Becoming parents has really solidified our relationship,” the dad-of-two said. “And hot tip, my biggest secret to seducing Laura is cleaning the house.”
“If I mop the floor, she can’t keep her hands off me.”
