Prior to Romeo’s birth, the pair were open about their struggles on the journey to parenthood, with Lauren revealing in 2019 that she suffered a miscarriage. “It was heart-wrenching,” she said on Good Morning America that November. “When I found out we were pregnant, I felt like this is why we went through all these challenges for years and that this was our time and it was our blessing. … It was hard. It was really difficult.”
During Lauren’s pregnancy with Mia, Mike spoke candidly about expanding their family. “We were definitely trying, but at the same time … we weren’t forcing it,” he exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2022. “I was nervous because … you have baby No. 1 and you don’t know what’s gonna happen when you have baby No. 2. Am I gonna be able to handle it? Is any of my performance gonna suffer as a dad, you know? You sort of worry a little bit. And I did worry when the first one was coming too, so it just shows how much I care.”
Mike noted that he and Lauren changed their minds about their children being “close in age” after welcoming Romeo.

“Our magic number was around three [years apart],” he explained. “As Romeo was getting close to 1 year old and we were like, ‘Listen, we kind of wanna stay in the baby stage and we want the babies to be … in the same schools and such.’ So, it really just happened the way we wanted. I guess we kind of manifested it.”
Mike also hinted at their plans for baby No. 3 at the time. “If it’s two boys, that’s adorable, and if it’s a boy and a girl, it sort of evens out the squad,” he said. “If we have two boys, then we will obviously go for the girl, and I think that if we have a girl then we’ll probably reevaluate the whole situation and go from there.”
