It is no wonder that he has gained a fan following as big as Titanic with 8.2m, 12.6m and 20.7m followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram respectively. Most of his posts are about his family, and particularly about his wife and their love for each other (and their wonderfully close-knit family) is what fans love most about them!
