But Alex open's with asking is Jon married. An odd question to begin with for such an interview. Jon watches Alex as he nervously questions him on his life and music career.
Jon opens up to Alex saying that every year around his son's birthday he thinks of him and getting in touch, but he chickens out every time. But he ends by saying if he's anything like Alex, he'd be thrilled acknowledging that they'd be around the same age.
Alex lets Jon get to the front door, before admitting 'it's me', turning to Alex Jon tells him he knows. Saying he has the same eyes as his mother, Jon let Alex make the call as to whether to admit to who he was.
Emotional, Alex lets Jon go, saying they'll be in touch.
But how will Melanie feel once she finds out Jon is back in their lives?
