I didn't want to make decisions and do things that I wouldn't naturally do with Matt just for likes and views and attention. Like I quite literally know couples who spend their entire Saturday night filming content or they go to certain events so that they are photographed together. And so the Internet gives them the stamp of approval of like couple goals.

I also sadly know couples who attend events or just go out to be seen in public so that they are seen together and they're able to confirm to the public like, yay, we're happy. Look, we're not breaking up. All is good in our life. It's just not something we were interested in doing at all. And obviously, those are the extreme examples. But like you're still kind of trying to appease the public.

And so you're making decisions about your relationship for the public. And by not leaning into any of that, it was the best decision we as a couple ever made in the beginning to just keep it as private as we could.

And now to clarify, I'm not saying I can't throw up like a couple moments with me and Matt on social media occasionally, but I do it in a way that feels very low stakes and low pressure to me. And I now have an understanding of what specific aspects I need to keep private and what aspects are okay to share. So now...

I want to share something extremely personal that I have been holding on to for the past year. And I am finally ready to talk about it. So here we go. Like I just told all of you, pretty early on, Matt and I were having very, very real conversations about life.

We talked about ideal timelines, our views on marriage, what we wanted out of life, whether or not we wanted children, and if so, when that would ideally be. And we were pretty much aligned on everything. All of these decisions Matt and I went on to make in lockstep together. Marriage, buying a house, starting a company together, all of it.

But one of the decisions that we have been actively trying to figure out is when we want to try and have kids. And So much has gone into these conversations. And we ultimately decided that we wanted to start trying to get pregnant last summer. And we were so excited. Like, we started planning renovations on our house to build a nursery and upstairs kids' bedrooms. We told our families. Our...
