“I
was
like, ‘man,
I
really
have
so
much
respect,
and
love
and
appreciation,
for
single
parents,'”
Vanessa
told PeopleTV. “You
have
to
change
everything
about
the
way
you
attack
the
day,
and
everything
that
you
would
think
you’re
wired
to
be,
it’s
different.
I
need
that
partner,
at
the
end
of
the
day
to
just
hang
out
with
and
talk
to.”
But
ultimately,
before
she
met
Nick,
she
couldn’t
wait
to
meet
a
great
guy,
to
have
healthy
and
happy
babies, “to
live
this
life
of
love—and
I’m
there.
So
all
that
was
work
to
get
to
you,
to
get
to
this,
to
get
to
now.”
“Why
we
got
married,
and
why
I
love
this
man,”
Vanessa
explained
to
E!
News
in
2018, “even
though
he’s
toured
the
world
and
has
many
adoring
fans,
both
women
and
men,
he’s
still
that
guy
from
Ohio
who
wants
to
go
outside
and
rake
the…drainage
ditch.”
This
anecdote
caused
a
little
he-said,
she-said,
but “my
point
is,”
Vanessa
exclaimed, “we
are
very
active
in
our
family
and
we
want
to
be
active
in
our
kids’
lives,
and
that’s
why
I
love
this
guy.”
“And
the
good
news,”
Nick
added, “is
we
actually
enjoy
being
parents.
It’s
fun.”
