Chloe also shared insights into the family’s approach to parenting, explaining that they have never actively avoided pregnancy. She described their family planning as simultaneously intentional and spontaneous.

'When I say it wasn't a planned thing, it was a planned thing, but it wasn't a planned thing at the same time," added Chloe.

According to Daily Mail, the couple began dating in 2015 during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
