Chatting about falling pregnant with Aidan, Jennifer revealed that her third baby was a welcome surprise. "We had always been open to a third, but definitely didn't think in the crazy year that the entire world was having that it would necessarily be this moment," she told People. "I feel like we've been able to so far raise two really special kids who will be great role models. This has been such a pleasant, beautiful, surprising gift in this time to be able to get to do all that again with another little human."

Talking to TV Line at the time, the Criminal Minds star said: "I also ended up sort of being on my own postpartum journey as I was filming her postpartum episodes.
"It was actually very helpful. My postpartum was sort of rushed through because I had to give it all to Maddie. [Playing that character] gave me a place to put all the emotions. So, it helped me, in real life, push through it probably a lot faster than I would have. I was very grateful for that."
