Speaking to WHO in June 2024, MacPherson gushed about his son, explaining being away from him is a tough part of his job.

“Our relationship just grows and evolves every day,” he enthused. “He is incredibly creative, curious and energetic. Thankfully, 
he loves travel and adventure, which he 
sees plenty of with both parents in showbiz. Fatherhood has made me value my time 
so much more. Everything gets measured against time with him. I’ve become far more selective of the types of jobs I do, or the people I choose to surround myself with, because, honestly, I would just rather be hanging out with people I love.”
