Vahaly also discusses his life after he retired from six years on the ATP Tour and how when he stopped playing competitively and left the game he was forced to come to terms with things about himself, including his happiness, his career aspirations and his sexuality. Vahaly talks about his marriage to his husband, Bill, two years ago, their 10-month old twin boys, the surrogate process and how his life has changed since his children entered his life.
