“And for the first time in my life, the songs have their true meaning and there’s hope for everyone in the whole wide world. And it’s because my wife is Filipina. Oh you didn’t know that?” Brian told his audience.

.

“Every song I write now is about my wife and the love that we shared and it’s a real, real thing,” said the singer, who married Filipina doctor Leilani Mendoza on December 29, 2017.

Brian added that now that he is also a Filipino by marrying a Filipina, he learned a lot of things such as “pansit, adobo, and in the mornings, longganisa.”

Reports said that the singer behind the hit songs “Back at One,” “6, 8, 12,” and “One Last Cry” and his doctor wife started dating in 2014.
