Hutchison was the most affected by the harsh criticism of the union, but the star insists he has no regrets.
In an interview with Good Morning America TV USA, says: "Okay. I've been called worse than a pedophile in my life. "
And the couple received the full support of parents Stodden Krista and Alex - because her daughter has always been more mature than his age.
Hutchison added: "I always joke with one of the reasons is because Courtney has worked 16 years from 36 years and I am 51 going on 21."
