He explained that the thing that holds them together is their support of each other, saying, “My wife and I are two of the most supportive people that we know in a relationship. She’s my best friend.

Bublé wrote about their decade together onInstagram, saying, “In 10 years of marriage, we’ve been through so much Lu… The good things in life have been better with you, and you’ve helped lift me through some of the hardest times imaginable.
You’re my way better half, my hero and the light of my life.
While there’s a lot more I feel and so much more I want to say, I’ll save that for you.
I love you Kid. Happy Anniversary.”
Bublé spoke toPEOPLEabout how his son Noah’s experience with liver cancer changed his life. As he put it, the diagnosis was profound.
He said, “I don’t wish that kind of pain upon any human being, but I do feel that when you’ve truly suffered, when you’ve truly felt fear and loss, it allows you to live a deeper life. Once you’ve felt those things, you are able, in context, to truly feel joy, gratitude and happiness.”
He added, “So, for me, it was this very cool family affair.”
He said, “We’re so excited to get to tell people. What’s weird is getting all these messages yesterday and I haven’t answered one cousin. So this will be the first time that I actually say these words, but yes, my wife and I are grateful to be expecting.”

I think we’re already living crazy land, so it’s just going to get better,” he said. “We’re so blessed to have healthy kids and a lot of love on our house. There’s a lot of noise.
