The happy couple welcomed a son named Cruz, age eight, in 2014, and another daughter named Dove, age two, in 2020.
The reality television personality also serves as a stepmother to her husband’s 14-year-old daughter, Isabella, whom he shares with Christina Mecklenberg.

He also wrote a lengthy message stating that he reached out to Mecklenberg in an effort to get closer to her and Isabella.
The media personality called the acceptance of his offer “a true testament to the fact that we wanted to live in harmony and be what was best for Bella.”
Then, the businesswoman spoke about her feelings regarding co-parenting with her husband’s ex-partner.
“After spending several times together, I consider her a friend and not just a ‘co-parent’. Because not only do we both love Bella, we want to learn and grow together,” she wrote.
Mellencamp concluded by advising her fans who were also dealing with co-parenting situations to become closer to their stepchildren’s biological parents.
‘If you ever get the feeling that you have to make that call, send out that invitation, show vulnerability, do it. It’s so worth it,’ she wrote.
