According to Hello! Magazine, back in 2009, he told Parade: "Being a daddy is what counts.
"I used to sleep until noon, but it's not so bad to have to get up at 7 and give them breakfast. My daughter made me realise that if there's anything that's going to make a man of you, it's having your will broken by a little girl."
The Holiday actor's most high profile romance has been with Sienna Miller, who he dated from 2003 to 2006 and again from 2009 to 2011.
