TheBrady Bunchalum, who’s been married to Tina Mahina for over six years and together for 10, toldFox Newsthat he takes “a page right out of the Disney book” when it comes to pleasing his wife.
“Make her your princess,” he added.
As Williams, 69, competes on this season’sDancing with the Stars, he revealed that Mahina has been “practicing” her own “dance moves” at home.
“When I come back, we can book a cruise somewhere that has a ballroom floor,” he said, sharing how the couple keeps things exciting.

Last week, Williams revealed hisintentions to “carry the torch”for his lateBrady Bunchtelevision momFlorence Hendersonwith his run on the competitive dance show.
His arrival on the popular ABC competition series comes 13 years after Henderson — whodied in November 2016at age 82 — competed on the show’s 11th season in 2010.

“I try and channel Florence Henderson, who encouraged me to pursue an invitation forDancing with the Stars,” he explained. “Being familiar with my theatrical background, she felt that I could do very well. And at that time, she had just been eliminated and asked if I would carry the torch.”
TheBrady Bunchcast has remained close in the years since it concluded in 1974 after five seasons. Because of that, Williams revealed that he’s hopeful that some of his former costars will soon hit the ballroom to cheer him on as he competes for the newly renamedLen Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. Already,Susan Olsen, who played his younger sister Cindy Brady, was in attendance.

“They’ve all been invited, so we’ll see,” he said. “I have Christopher Knight on my guest list for next week. He and I do a podcast calledThe Real Brady Bros, which is an episodic recap. We each watch an episode and then dissect it on our podcast and the details, what we were thinking, what our perspectives are now, et cetera. But it’s very Brady and he’s very supportive and that brings us into contact on a very regular basis.”
Williams added, “Maureen [McCormick]has reached out several times, cheering me on, and hopefully, she will come. Hopefully, they’ll all come … I have a lot of Brady support.”
