They told the outlet: “You have to be a team. People say when you have kids your life changes and that’s it and it’s over, but we weren’t massive goer-outers anyway so for us it hasn’t really changed our dynamic. I do think it’s brought us closer together and it’s nice to just have a little family unit. We feel stronger together,” she said.
The soap star also spoke about their future family plans and whether they’d like more kids. Lacey said: “I’d still have four. I would be happy with three and I’d be happy with two if this was our lot. We’re so lucky to have the two we’ve got, but I would definitely have more. It definitely won’t be any time soon, though we have our hands full at the moment!”.
