Only after a six month break up, DAVE recalls messaging her new husband when he was still in the relationship with his Ex simply asking Patrick Who he was and why he was taking photo's with he's fiance. Mr McIntyre's reply was the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as his ex's mother is going threw her second divorce having two children with different dads. This is where Mr. McIntyre gets all his inspiration to write his second album Trouble.
