The Couple Recently Spoke About Having More Children
In a November 2022 interview, Holker and Boss spoke about having more children.
They shared three kids: daughters Weslie, 14, Zaia, 3, and their son, Maddox, 6.
In an interview with Jennifer Hudson on “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” they shared that they would “love” to start trying to have more children when asked if they missed having a newborn around.
“I sure do,” Holker said. “I think we would love to start trying for another one.”
They also spoke about how much their children have grown now that Weslie is in high school.
“She’s so cool,” Holker said. “She’s such a good kid. She’s so respectful. I mean look at her, she’s stunning.”
The couple previously told People that raising a family truly takes a whole village.
“[It’s] a little challenging [because] we have family in Utah and Arizona; our family’s spread out,” Boss told the outlet. “But then also we have what would be our chosen family, our family friends in L.A., that are always there to help. And also we have nannies. And it does — it takes a whole village to run this thing.”
Holker added, “People always talk about how it takes a village for hair and makeup and styling – it’s the same thing with having kids. We have hands on deck all the time willing to help and jump on board.”
