“When I finished that show, [I] went through a year of really having to re-gather who I was, like re-remember who I was,” he said. “And I definitely had this crisis of identity with a whole lot of other things that I was going through.”
“Being a dad, my son being one years old at the time, going through a breakup with his mom and navigating all of that while trying to pick up the pieces of who I was,” KJ added. “But I look back and I’m so grateful for it because I asked for this life. I asked to be here and this is what it all comes with. And I’m grateful for it and I’m glad I went through it.”
