On Friday, the couple took to Instagram to issue a joint apology over drama that followed after an interview given to Dr. Berlin’s Informed Pregnancy podcast.
‘To anyone who has been affected by reproductive coercion, we are deeply sorry.’ they began.
‘…We never expected a lighthearted interview we did poking fun at EACH OTHER and how WE chose together to get pregnant… to turn into something representing a very serious matter.’
‘…It’s a shame that outlets chose this as their way into a very serious discussion, as we are certainly not qualified to be the faces of this topic. We are two happily married people who chose TOGETHER to have a baby. The end,’ the note read.
