“I think I’ve always had baby fever. I think this is also why I would rather get married in 2023 because I’m just, like, ready to start that process. I would like to have [kids], maybe, before 40. But listen, I will take whatever I can get,” she shared with Us in November 2022.
The publicist went on to tease her plans for their wedding, adding, “We hired a wedding planner, which was step one for me, because I was, like, the sooner I have a wedding planner, the less I will have to stress out. I’m hoping by next week hopefully we’ll have a decision on a venue and a date. Then after that, you know, hopefully everything falls into place.”
Radke, meanwhile, praised his then-fiancée earlier this year for planning their nuptials.
“We’re gonna be [getting married] in Mexico in November. We’re still working on finding music and figuring out just some of the decor. I’m looking at tuxedos and I’m looking at outfits. Lindsay’s an amazing planner,” he told Us in May. “She’s thrown events left and right in her PR days. So she’s done an amazing job and she’s been a rockstar. I’ve been really trying to be supportive but I’ve learned a lot that just don’t think about as a guy.”
