He went on to describe Leni’s warmth and compassion, qualities that he admires most in her. “She walks through life with this type of humility that allows her to move so gracefully through it all and she has an innate understanding of people in general and people’s feelings,” he explained. “So I’m kind of more impressed with everything that she is.”
