Bryan sits down with IGN to discuss the most recent story-line surrounding his wife in which he’s accused of cheating on her with his physical therapist.

It’s funny, because I feel like sometimes you just have to overcome these things more so than anything else. Like, Brie and Stephanie have to overcome that flaw. To me, that was a flaw in the story.
