Jared Padalecki makes it clear that he misses his kids so much when he is filming for ‘Supernatural.’
In a video sponsored by Minute Maid, the Texas native can be seen going on Skype to speak to his family, who lives in Austin, while he films episodes for the CW series in Vancouver. The touching clip shows Padalecki admitting to his viewers that he misses his children a lot and that sometimes he has to deal with the guilt of leaving his wife Genevieve with all the parenting duties.
"Because I'm filming nine months out of the year in Vancouver and Gen and the boys are in Austin, it gets me thinking am I away from my boys too much?" the 33-year-old actor, who plays Sam Winchester, says in the sponsored video.
"I miss a lot of the day to day things. I miss their pizza party at school. I miss rocking them back to sleep when they wake up in the middle of the night,” he added.
Padalecki and his wife shares two boys- three-year-old Thomas and 23-month-old Shepherd. The actor met his partner on the set of ‘Supernatural’ and exchanged wedding vows with her in 2010 in Sun Valley, Idaho.
"Wonderfully, we can always video chat so I can see them and talk to them," the actor adds in his heartwarming confession. "I'll see that the boys are two handfuls plus. I'll even feel guilty about letting Genevieve down."
Despite ‘Supernatural’ being frequently put in hiatus, the CW actor is required to spend many months filming for the hit series, which is currently on its 11th season.
Padalecki has been known for sharing details about his personal life; earlier this year, he opened up about his personal struggles with mental illness. His family, friends and fans have carried on supporting his Keep Fighting movement.
During the Comic-Con event last July ‘Supernatural’ fans gave the ‘House of Wax’ actor a touching surprise by lighting candles to show their respect for his struggles and appreciation for his passion when it comes to supporting others who are also experiencing depression and other mental illnesses.
‘Supernatural’ season 11 is currently on a week-long hiatus and is set to return with a new episode next Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 9pm EST on The CW.
