In a September 2019 interview with NPR's Terry Gross, France said he "always wanted to be a father."

"I've wanted children since I was 19, 20. If I'd had a stable relationship at that time, I would have desperately tried to have children," he explained at the time, adding that "surrogacy for gay men costs a heck of a lot."

"I was going to be a stay-at-home dad, which is something I've wanted for many, many, many years. And so that was the plan," he added. "And I actually — crazily, I still want six. I don't know if that's going to happen, but yeah, I still want six children."

In a February 2020 interview with People NOW, France opened up about his relationship, saying that Rob is "really handsome" and "he just tells me I'm beautiful every day."

"Every day, he just tells me how much he loves me and everything he loves about me, and I do the same for him," he said at the time. "And it's not something we said 'Oh we should do this for each other.' We just started doing it."
