Jennifer previously talked about becoming a mother, telling Us Weekly in 2013: "We're so thrilled and happy to start a family."

“He should be a male doula. I was really worried that I was going to get that face — ‘Mmm, what’s happening here?’ — and I’m not good at the faces so I would’ve been like, ‘What does that mean? What does that mean!," she joked.

“But he was just like, ‘This is great. I am so proud of you right now. This is awesome, you look beautiful.’ I was really proud of him.”
