“I do feel the burden of needing to make a healthy relationship with your family before I actually get pregnant,” Chantel told Entertainment Tonight Online.

Pedro joked they are getting plenty of practice in, but he also agrees there’s a lot of growth that needs to occur. “I believe right now that we have our goals, you know? And I know that a baby is a blessing, but it needs to be at a good and right time,” he said.

Pedro doesn’t want to be like his father, who left him and his sister Nicole when they were little. “I want to be stable, I want for everything to be good in the family,” he told the publication. “I want to be a good father. I don’t want to make the same mistakes that my father did to me and my sister. I don’t want my child to feel what I’ve been feeling for years.”

While Chantel and Pedro were under quarantine, they opened up to ET about their current connection. While the couple seemed to be on good terms, Chantel agreed that she needed to come to some type of understanding with her in-laws.

“For our family to be in a better place, we need to have conversations with one another, come to agreements, you know, mend fences in a way,” she told ET. “There needs to be some apologies and I feel like we can’t be civil with one another. We are not civil with one another, honestly. And I’m just waiting for that day when we can have just some common ground.”

“There definitely needs to be more work between me and Pedro’s family, him and my family, before we would feel comfortable with even letting our child be out of our presence with that family member, honestly,” Chantel added.
