Matt Willis has heaped the praise on his wife Emma and revealed how she helped him when they first met.
The musician burst onto the scene 20 years ago with his Busted bandmates, Charlie Simpson and James Bourne, and their hit song What I Go To School For.
During the band's successful first spell, Matt met presenter Emma and the pair have been married for 13 years.
They also have three kids together - Isabelle, 12, Ace, nine, and Trixie, five.
The 38-year-old met Emma, 45, when he was 21 and openly admits he's a very different person now to what he was back then.
Speaking to OK! Magazine, he said: "I’m very different to the person I was then. But I had a very good guide in Emma.
"She’s a little bit older than me, so she’d been there and done that, and she was exactly the influence I needed at that time in my life. We appreciate each other, we know ourselves well and I love her to pieces.
"She just gets me; she understands who I am and she’s never tried to change me. I don’t try to change her either – we are who we are and we embrace that about each other."
Matt also touched on rumours that he was set to co-present a new show with his wife but denied any involvement, claiming presenting "isn't really my bag".
While he refused to rule out any future projects, it's not something he has any real plans for at the moment.
Since Busted split, he has turned his hand to acting.
He described theatre as being where his heart is. "I do love it," he confessed.
"I always feel nervous before a performance but I get that buzz in my belly and I’m so excited before the curtain comes up. There’s nothing else like it."
He is set to be on stage in the musical Waitress where he will play Dr Pomatter.
And he's also set to star in a new film also, having just finished filming a Second World War movie called Wolves Of War.
He plays a an Army captain who has no empathy and described how working alongside actors such as Ed Westwick helped him to delve deeper into the role than he thought was possible.
