Though the couple choose to keep both pregnancy under wraps, now they have no problem gushing about their little ones.
During an interview with PAWS Chicago, Chloe opened up about what it was like to juggle parenthood and their careers. She said, “I love that Augustus can be a part of my work life and his father’s. Not many babies go to fabric stores in the day, then music studios at night."
