Longtime lovers Vanessa Lachey and Nick Lachey are getting emotional, especially when questions arose about their eldest son entering his teen years.
In case you missed it, on Feb. 14, Vanessa and Nick did a sweet, joint interview with Entertainment Tonight, and amid this interview, she’s asked a question about their eldest son, Camden, becoming a teen soon. (And honestly, so many parents of teens or soon-to-be-teens can relate to this!)
“That one’s going to get me,” Vanessa teared up. “It’s going to get me because you know that this has been happening in the last couple months.”
“They’re growing…I’m not nervous about the next phase, I’m excited. Everybody who has older kids talks about how it gets better. I’m hanging onto them still being little. And they’re still little now. So. I’m going to cry,” she added. “It’s actually really… it’s such a beautiful question because I love — I know you do too — we love our children and we love watching them grow.”
For those who don’t know, Vanessa and Nick married in 2011 after five years together. They have since welcomed three children named Camden, born in Sept 2012, Brooklyn, born in Jan 2015, Phoenix, born in Dec 2016.
In a previous interview with SheKnows, Vanessa talked about family traditions with her three kids, and how she talks about all of this in her book Life from Scratch. “I think the beauty of the book is that even though my parents weren’t together growing up — my mom left when I was pretty young — I wanted to create traditions and memories and moments for my family. I think that the overall message is that your messy past doesn’t have to define your future or whatever future you want. You can do anything, and it’s never too late,” she said.
These celebrity parents are sharing the struggle — and sweetness — of raising teenagers.
