Jason Batemanhas been acting for nearly 40 years.
Two daughters and 19 years later, he’s happier than ever.
Bateman toldRedbookin 2013, “Being a father of two is everything I wanted.
I’m a big fan of marriage and being a dad.
And my wife, Amanda, makes those things easy.
She spoils me; she makes the husband part simple.”
That friendship has certainly laid the groundwork for a beautiful relationship.
He gushingly continued, “I’m floored by that.
That keeps me grounded.
Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka’s relationship also started off as platonic.
While it may have beginning of a beautiful friendship, that’s all it was, at first.
In an interview withGQ, Anka opened up about why their relationship started off that way.
“I just wasn’t into where he was at,” the New York-native admitted.
18-year-old Bateman was living the life of a rising star in Hollywood.
Ten years later, Bateman was looking for more stability in his life.
“I just waited until I found a girl that really was that in my life.
Amanda is and that’s why it feels so effortless.”
After four years of dating, the couple walked down the aisle in 2001.
