He told Us Weekly magazine: "Denyse is talented and beautiful on the inside and out.

Friends say the relationship is still in the early stages, with a source revealing they were introduced by Denyse's producer and bonded over one another's music.
The insider added that "they are hitting it off".
News of Mark's new relationship comes just after it was revealed his former girlfriend, and 'Glee' co-star Naya Rivera, married actor Ryan Dorsey following a whirlwind romance.
Although the 27-year-old actress only split from rapper fiance Big Sean in April, she and longtime friend Ryan tied the knot on July 19 in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
They said: "We feel truly blessed to be joined as husband and wife. Our special day was fated and everything we could have ever asked for.
"True love always prevails."
The wedding came as even more of a shock as it was only revealed last week that the couple were dating, when they were spotted on vacation together in Mexico.
However, they have been friends for four years after meeting when Ryan moved to Los Angeles.

Lily Allen has hit out at the music industry following the flop of her comeback album 'Sheezus'.
The feisty 29-year-old singer claims those in charge are "elder males" who "see women as weak" as she tried to justify the poor sales of her third record.
She told PressPlay: "The music industry is run mainly by elder males. It sits better with them to be able to assert their power and control over something that they see as weak and i think they probably see women as weak."
And they weren't the only ones who came in for a tongue lashing, with Lily also blasting BBC Radio 1 for recently dropping her from their playlist.
She fumed: "The truth is nobody knows what the f**k they're doing. They can pretend they've got a formula that works and [that] they 'know' they're exactly in control of the game but they're just not. No one knows."
This comes after Lily recently admitted her songs weren't good enough on her third album.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Maybe the songs aren't good enough this time, who knows? I just know I can't wait to get back into the studio."
Lily - who went on a musical hiatus between 2011 and 2013, during which time she had daughters Ethel, two, and Marnie Rose, 18 months and wed Sam Cooper - also blamed her advisors.
She added: "I put my trust in other people, which I don't usually do. I usually go with my own gut feeling but maybe I wasn't feeling as confident as I have in the past because of all the hormones."

Justin Bieber is a "scary talent".
Canadian rockers Magic - who penned 'Never Say Never' for the pop star - were hugely impressed with Bieber when they worked with him and have praised his professionalism and talent.
Singer Nasri Atweh told the Daily Star newspaper: "Justin is a scary talent - people don't appreciate how talented the guy is. He knows what he likes and is hyper-focused, never lost or confused."
And he revealed Justin doesn't need many takes to get things right when recording.
Nasri added: "He's got a great voice, so he nails a track in one or two takes."
Justin isn't the only singer Nasri has written for, he has also penned tracks for stars including Cheryl Cole, but admitted he found it unfulfilling and is thrilled to now be writing for his own band.
He explained: "I'd made a lot of money, but I wasn't enjoying it. I started thinking these musicians were very narrow-minded and that I knew something they didn't."
The band are currently riding high in the charts with 'Rude', a song about a man being refused permission to marry his girlfriend by a prospective father-in-law but Nasri insists it is not autobiographical.
He said: "None of us have proposed. It's a scene so familiar from movies, but the song just came flooding out of me one day, no idea why. I thought it was just a throwaway, friendly song that might go Top 20."

Famke Janssen hopes her 'X-Men' character isn't recast with a younger actress.
The 48-year-old actress, who plays telekinetic superhero Jean Grey in the popular films, admits she would be disappointed if the part is recast and has expressed her hope of reprising her most famous role.
Janssen's comments come after Jean Grey - who was killed off in 2006's 'X-Men: The Last Stand' - made a short cameo at the end of recent blockbuster 'X-Men: Days of Future Past', the events of which appeared to rewrite history and undo the deaths seen in past films.
The actress told the Metro newspaper: "It really left the door open and I loved 'Days of Future Past'. The idea of bringing back characters and putting different generations of one character in the same movie together is very interesting. It leaves things open for the future with when you want to set it and what characters might be featured.
"I don't know what's going to happen next but I hope it involves Jean Grey and that I can play that Jean Grey and it won't be a younger version."
However, Janssen says she'd come to terms with producers recasting the role as they've previously introduced younger versions of Magneto, Professor X and Mystique.
She added: "I'd understand it - we've seen it before with Mystique and Magneto at different ages - why not Jean Grey?"
The next 'X-Men' movie, 'X-Men: Apocalypse', is due for release in 2016.

"And now, that baton has arrived here in Glasgow, a city renowned for its dynamic cultural and sporting achievements and for the warmth of its people, for this opening ceremony of the Friendly Games.'
Her Majesty was joined in front of the 40,000-strong crowd by her husband, Prince Philip, her eldest son Prince Charles, and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, as well as her youngest son the Earl of Wessex and his wife Sophie.
The Queen then went on to address around 4,500 sportsmen and women who are expected to take part in the Games, which runs from 23 July until 3 August.
She said: "To you, the Commonwealth athletes, I send my good wishes for success in your endeavours.
"Together, you all play a part in strengthening our friendships in this modern and vibrant association of nations."
Before announcing: "It now gives me the greatest pleasure to declare the 20th Commonwealth Games open."

Diane Parish has defended EastEnders' dramatic story lines.
The 44-year-old actress, who plays Ian Beale's (Adam Woodyatt) downtrodden fiancée Denise Fox in the BBC One soap, thinks the show wouldn't be as popular if it wasn't for its dark plot.

She was also set to walk out on fiancé Ian - who recently cheated on her with ex-wife Jane - last month, but ultimately decided to stay with him after news broke of his daughter Lucy's grisly murder.
Diane explained that the increasingly glum plot is all the more "exciting" for her as she felt her story lines needed expanding,
She said: "I don't feel exhausted by all of this Lucy Beale murder drama - I feel revived! It's no secret that I had been quite quiet in the show for a while, so when I heard about this storyline and what our new boss Dominic [Treadwell-Collins] had planned for Denise, I was dead excited."

Michael Moore's divorce has been finalised.
The 'Farenheit 9/11' filmmaker filed for divorce from Kathleen Glynn in June 2013 in Michigan's Antrim County, claiming at the time their 22-year union had broken down and there remained "no reasonable likelihood that the marriage" could be preserved, and documents posted to the county circuit court's website this week showed the divorce has been granted and the case is now closed.
A statement from the couple says they have "mutually and amicably" reached a settlement, despite reports of squabbling over the division of assets including nine houses.
The 60-year-old filmmaker's apparently lavish lifestyle has attracted some criticism from neighbours in his Michigan community for seemingly contradicting the values and ideals he expresses in his documentaries.
One store keeper told The Detroit News newspaper: "He criticises capitalism, but capitalism made him rich.
"Why he decided to live in this conservative area, I have no idea."
However, another local resident said: "I think he's earned it."
The 'Bowling For Columbine' director has previously addressed his wealth in 2011, admitting that while he earned millions, he "proudly" paid a seven-figure tax bill, set up a charity and refused to buy stock in certain corporations.
