Fox News Digital<\/em><\/a>, the actor detailed his new life. He said it\u2019s better than he expected.<\/p>\n\u201cI met my future wife while I was finishing a job, and she was from Colorado, and once I started visiting there, I never stopped,\u201d he explained. \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible state and, I\u2019m raising my children there, and we\u2019re never leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donovan met his wife, Michelle Woods, in 2011. The two wed a year later in August 2012 in a small ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. The two now have three children together: Claire, Lucas and Ethan. He says life in Colorado is the sunshine state, and not Florida, which he said should be called \u201cthe thunderstorm state\u201d because of the rain and hurricanes. He says the quality of life in Colorado is unmatched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cColorado, secretly, is the sunshine state,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful part of the country that gets more sunshine than maybe even Arizona and New Mexico. It\u2019s incredible. So that\u2019s why we\u2019re there. And it\u2019s really healthy living.\u201d<\/p>\n
He has a lot of friends who remain in Los Angeles and are raising their children there, which he says is a bit more difficult. He misses his social life in Los Angeles, but he says they all agree that raising children is \u201ca challenge,\u201d and that for him, being in Colorado makes it easier.<\/p>\n
\u201cI find it less challenging in Colorado, which plays to my talent level of raising kids,\u201d Donovan explained. \u201cIf it\u2019s not hard raising kids in Colorado, then that\u2019s where I wanna be.\u201d<\/p>\n
