If I gave them anything … find a job you love and do it well … and you get paid extravagant amounts of money for doing it,” he told radio station SiriusXM.

The pair have four children together as well as Sting’s other two kids from a previous marriage.

“She’s my better half. She’s my conscious. She tells me when I’m being a prick. She tells me when I’m doing a good thing. She’s a force of nature, and without her I don’t think I would have come to much.”
