She said that transitioning into a family of four would be a little more challenging as the couple still tried to make time for their relationship.
‘It’s honestly tough whenever you put a baby into the situation because you’ve got to still try to find time for each other and a lot of the focus goes onto the baby,’ she told US Weekly.
‘So that’s the main thing is just me trying to carve out a little time in my schedule and her trying to carve out time in her schedule because we’re both pretty busy. That’s the toughest thing about it, but we find a way to get through it.’
