The couple, who welcomed their daughter Luna in early 2016 with the help of IVF, have been trying to conceive for several years before turning to the treatment, and John opened up about the struggle of being unable to conceive naturally. "I think it's especially difficult when you can't conceive naturally," he said. "You want to feel like everything's working properly and want everything to be perfect, but sometimes it's not… [IVF] brought us Luna and hopefully, it will bring us a few more awesome kids, too."

Back in 2015, Chrissy revealed that she and John had been fertility doctors after trying to conceive for several years. Speaking on her ABC show FABLife, she said: "I will say honestly John and I were having trouble. We would have had kids five, six years ago if it happened… But my gosh it's been a process. We've seen fertility doctors and once you open up about those things to other people you learn that a lot of other people in your life are seeing these people and they have this shame about it… So anytime somebody asks if I'm going to have kids I'm just like, 'One day you're going to ask that to the wrong girl who is really struggling and it's going to be really hurtful to them and I hate that. Stop asking me.'"
