A source previously told Star in November that the couple were interested in starting a family.

“They feel like it will happen organically. Hailee fits her schedule around Josh’s, and when the season’s over he travels with her,” the source shared at the time. “They’re more in love than ever, and they’re confident it’s their destiny to become parents.”
