In a video, Cameron told fans, “Can we agree that it’s inappropriate to ask couples when they’re going to have a baby? I made this video not just for the thousands of times Lauren and I are pressured, but for all couples going through the same investigation.’

“This message wasn’t directed to any specific person — we’ve gotten this question from thousands of people over the years, and so have millions of other couples.”

Up in the air: Fans of the Netflix show want to dethrone the former boy band singer, 49, and his wife, 42, by collecting as many signatures as possible on a petition
Fans weren’t overly impressed with the married couple after the Netflix show’s first live reunion aired earlier this month.
Viewers had a problem with Vanessa, who was criticized for her “weird baby obsession” and contestants’ whining about their plans to have children.
