CHRIS PARKER'S - ROMANTIC JOURNEY

When Woman's Day talks to Chris Parker W over Zoom, he's just got back from his regular morning walk with his Celebrity Treasure Island co-star Brynley Stent and is sitting in the exact same spot we last interviewed him in in the sun-filled office of his Auckland flat. "Except the art's on the floor and I'm on the floor!" he laughs.

The comedian, 32, and his designer husband Micheal McCabe, 29, are packing up their furniture and moving out to go on a globetrotting honeymoon. Once he finishes the final dates of his Lots Of Love tour in Palmerston North and New Plymouth this week, Chris will meet his hubby for a "very romantic" reunion in Paris, before they then jet off to Spain and Japan.

"We don't have kids and don't have a dog, so we can be flexible," says Chris, adding that they don't have any plans for where they'll live on their return. "This is probably the last time in our lives where we can be like, 'Can we come crash on your couch?"

And, no, before you ask, children aren't on the horizon for the couple, who married at Auckland's Hollywood Cinema last October. Chris laughs, "Kids don't seem to be in our future. We foster really strong relationships with our friends' kids and hopefully, when we're old, they'll drop us groceries when we're on the 19th floor of some apartment building and can't get down the stairs. Ideally, a dog is in our future."
