Talking Marriage

In Feb. 2017, Holly opened up about marriage and having children in an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "I feel like that's what I was always looking for all along, but, as I was growing, you learn that you have to find yourself first. The right person isn't going to come along until you're confident, until you've gone out there and lived life," she said. "I'm glad that it happened that way."

She later added, "I have an amazing husband and kids and family. I just feel like anything else that I can do after that is just icing on the cake."

First and foremost, we are forever partners and parents to two beautiful children, and are fully committed to raising them in an environment filled with love and positivity."

"Holly is a talented woman and a beautiful soul. We remain the best of friends while co-parenting and continuing to support one another in our respective passions in life," he continued. "Though it was not a decision we made hastily or take lightly, Holly and I welcome this next chapter in our relationship, and have every confidence that the future will bring only the best for us and our kids. Thank you all for your continued love and support."
