ridingapinkdragon asked: Hi! Do you know how many grandchildren Audrey has? I've read that Sean has two sons and a daughter; but I haven't found any information regarding whether Luca has children or not... I know he is super protective of his private life, but maybe you know where to look up better for this?! You are my last chance on this! Anyway, I was just curious! Thanks a lot!
