The 42-year-old has previously opened up about the early days of their romance. She told Billboard in 2017: "[The] video, which was on TRL, was the beginning of our relationship. That's what made it no longer friends and it got romantic. 

"To the point that if you go back and look at the video when he came to premiere it, I was so nervous and so crushing [on] him that I didn't show up for work that day. I called in sick."

"@NickSLachey and I are honored and humbled to introduce you to the new love of our lives," Vanessa wrote on Twitter, along with a photo of newborn Camden cradled in her arms.

The TV hosts, who live in Hawai'i, then went on to welcome Brooklyn in January 2015 and Phoenix in December 2016. "One of the things I think that really drew us to each other is we both really value family and how important family is," Nick told People magazine following the birth of their third baby.

While Vanessa previously stated that her third baby would be the couple's last in an interview with US Weekly in 2020, she recently told Distractify that she hasn't ruled out another pregnancy.

"I always consider it," she said. "I have been very lucky to be able to have three beautiful, healthy, crazy-at-times children. And if I do have another then it's just a blessing that I will accept with open arms."
