Moreover, after the finale was done with, he revealed it was time for him to focus on his number 1 love, his wife, and family. He explained,
“I’ve been thinking about how I’m just going to thank [my wife] and my kids,”

He continued,
“We’re going to spend as much time together [as we can],”
“That’s what you have to do, because my family has been behind me the whole time.”
Driver is married to his wife Betina Driver since 2000, and the couple shares three children together, namely Christian, Christina, and Charity.
Donald also has plenty of love for his wife, and one example of that a post he shared back in 2015, where he wishes his wife a very happy birthday.
Speaking about his family life in an interview in 2012, he said,
"We have three beautiful kids. Christian is 8. Christina is 6. And, Charity is 7 months. So, you know, I love my babies … For a guy that grew up saying he never wanted kids, it's truly a blessing,"
He also opened up about being a homeless person during his early life.
"Well, I mean, I grew up homeless, you know, lived in and out of U-Haul trucks and, you know, apartment houses, friends. You know, when Mom's trying to raise five kids, it's very hard. But, you know, I think one thing she's always said is that God's going to get us out of it, and he did,"
