However, he did go on to marry Calista (making it his third marriage) a few years later.<\/p>\n Part of why their marriage is strong is Harrison’s sweet bond to Calista’s adopted son, Liam- whom she adopted after the pair met. Opening up to Parade<\/em>, Harrison said: “It’s a wonderful opportunity to be part of a child’s growing up, which is always an endless springtime. You see the blossoming and the growing and the nurturing and the payoff. Being a parent made me just a bit less self-centered.” <\/span><\/p>\n The actor, 82, who has four sons from his previous marriage, praised his wife’s parenting: “Calista\u2019s a mother by choice\u2014she adopted Liam before we met, as a single parent, which is an awesome responsibility to take. She\u2019s devoted herself to Liam and has done a really wonderful job raising him. I\u2019m happy to now have a part of the job.”<\/span><\/p>\n Even though Calista, 60, is younger, she feels like the older one in the relationship. She told HELLO!<\/em>: “Sometimes I even say, \u2018Wow, I keep forgetting that he\u2019s 22 years older than me.\u2019 It doesn\u2019t factor into our relationship at all. I like the way he looks first thing in the morning. It\u2019s not handsome, it\u2019s more cute. He looks like a little boy.”’<\/p>\n Like any marriage, she went on to joke to HELLO!<\/em> that the pair have needed to “work” on their relationship at times. So despite the age gap not causing momnumental issues, she said that “they’ve had their ups and downs like everyone else.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-77px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”fp-bottom-credits” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” min_height=”39.8px” custom_margin=”-34px||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n BY<\/strong> IONA MACROBERT<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”fp-read-more” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider color=”#a2823d” divider_weight=”6px” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||5px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”read-more-h2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Roboto Condensed|700|||||||” header_3_font=”Roboto Condensed|700|||||||” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px||10px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/HANDSOME-MEN-3.jpg” title_text=”HANDSOME MEN 3″ module_class=”read-more-img” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”read-more-title” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The handsome British men taking Hollywood by storm<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,3_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”10px||10px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2024\/11\/New-Project-1.png” title_text=”New Project (1)” module_class=”read-more-img” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”read-more-title” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Condensed||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nKatharine McPhee and David Foster: 34 years<\/h3>\n
