I'm going to revisit the oddity if it was his wife who died. Why isn't the profile picture featuring her? I get it, he has the kids in there... Why not her with the kids???
Something is very odd.
Perhaps he and his wife aren't getting along. I almost hate to circulate rumors based on nothing, but that is one possibility that explains the photo.
One thing I do remember is him agreeing to get two cats, him hating cats, finding someone to take them, and making her get rid of them. Then getting them back when they were crying for her at the new place. Something like that.
F- MW, if forced to choose between a dog or cat and a wife/gf, that's an easy one for me.
