When John Abraham spoke about not having children; the actor has been married to Priya Runchal since 2014
John Abraham and Priya Runchal have been married for more than 11 years but they haven't yet planned to have a family. They're pet parents though and seem quite happy at that. In an old interview, John had addressed why they've not thought about having children. He had said earlier, 'Right now, I'm just concentrating on setting my systems right in my workplace'. He elaborated on his busy schedule, explaining, 'I have a football team — Northeast United FC — so [that is] one thing that I have on my head, and I have my production house, I also am doing films as an actor. There are lots of things happening right now in my life that are taking a lot of time.' He added, 'Once systems are in place, then you can look elsewhere. Right now, it's just about getting those systems right.' Meanwhile, earlier on Tara Sharma's show, John had further opened up on it and said, 'You can't plan too much but I think you must have children only if you're ready to be a hands-on parent. Otherwise, don't have children. You need to have children if you want to have the joy of parenthood and you want to bring up someone with a lot of love and care' John has always kept his personal life private and his wife Priya is often away from the limelight. He had once spoken about it and said, 'I think I've realized I'm pretty faulty. I'm probably not the perfect partner. I think Priya brings a lot of maturity to the relationship. A lot of sanity, a lot of stability, and she's a good person. Rarely do I find people in our industry who want to stand back. She's one who has chosen to stand back and say, 'Listen, I'm not interested in this space of hogging the limelight. I'd rather sit back and do some real work.'" On work front, John was last seen in 'The Diplomat' this year which got critical acclaim and also did decently well at the box office.
