"Without (Tahnee) I may not be here," Johnny told Now To Love last month.
"She was the one who made me get in the car when it first happened. And she's encouraging me to do things. She keeps me active, getting me to go for runs and swims."
Despite facing so much hardship, the couple's relationship has flourished.
"We just have fun. We make each other laugh so much. You know that gut-wrenching laugh with tears coming from your eyes?" he gushed in an interview to Now To Love.
"We argue and fight just like every other couple, but we make up too. We kiss and makeup you know?"
