Jake departed Home And Away, with a tragic death after a dramatic car crash, in 2020 and since then, has been loving focusing his attention on his young family.

“It’s not an easy road; fatherhood or parenthood. But it’s the most rewarding and beautiful time. I’ve loved every second of it,” he explained to the Daily Mail.

Despite the sleep deprivation, the 37-year-old admitted raising his boy was a “beautiful and rewarding” journey.

“My days are just consumed with him, and everything that you sort of do for life is about your child now which is great. It’s nice to have that, to have someone else to work towards, apart from yourself,” he reflected.

Aside from planning a wedding, the star’s also just wrapped his latest project – a New Zealand film called Savage, which dropped on Stan in January.
