Brooklyn has previously shared his excitement about starting a family, telling PEOPLE in November 2022, “I could have had kids yesterday.”

“Obviously it’s my wife’s body, but I’ve always wanted to have a bunch of kids around. That’s something I really want to do,” he said. “And my dad was young when he had me. He was 23. And I’m 23 now. I’ve always wanted to be a young dad.”

Earlier this month, Nicola talked about the importance of surrounding herself with family in an interview with Byrdie.

“Family is everything to me, and I mean that with my whole heart,” she shared. “I’m so close to mine and Brooklyn’s family and I think there’s no better feeling than knowing you have a strong support system. It’s such a blessing, and I never take it for granted.”
