Nick Viall, 43, and Natalie Joy, 25, get real about struggles getting intimate as new parents – less than three months after welcoming daughter: ‘We haven’t quite cracked that code’
Nick Viall and Natalie Joy got real about their struggle to find time in the bedroom as new parents.
The couple welcomed their daughter River Rose in February, but their sex life proved to be challenging while caring for their baby girl.
On his podcast, The Viall Files, Nick, 43, described the challenges they faced getting intimate as new parents.
“You have a little baby and she’s an angel and she’s obviously always by our side. Part of that was Natalie’s mother. The best we could have done would have been like, “Here,” he said, gesturing as if he were handing his child to her mother.
“We’re going to the bedroom.” That feels strange! We are not very comfortable with her mother yet,” he added.
