​“Anytime she tries to, like, if I got something in my beard or my mustache and she goes to reach for it I always, like, bark and snap,” Allen shared.

​Josh then explained that the habit comes from his childhood and something his father used to do.

​“It’s something my dad did, you know?” Josh recalled. “We’d be little kids touching the whiskers on his face and he’d be like argh, you know? So every time I do that, it gets her every single time and I can’t not do it. It’s like, it’s there for the taking and I have to take it.”

​Elsewhere in the conversation, Josh's fellow athlete asked if he had any pet peeves about Hailee.

​“Absolutely nothing, Eric,” Josh quickly replied with a smile. “What are you trying to do here? What are you trying to do to me?”

​It is pertinent to mention that the newly minted parents are all set to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on May 31.
