So I finally said, ‘What are we doing?’” Vanessa recalled on the debut episode of the show. “I had moved in with him, I had renovated his entire bachelor pad, there was a bar in the pool.

I was like, ‘Whatever you want,’ and now I’m like, ‘OK, I want to put kids in the pool.’” “So that’s when I started doing the dance,” Vanessa added, while waving her ring finger around. “That’s what put the nail in the coffin,” Nick joked. Vanessa then explained why she and Nick decided to briefly split up before getting married. “If I’m being completely candid and transparent, we took a break,” Vanessa shared. “We both saw one other person and we realized that if we got out of our own way, we could be amazing together.” She continued, “But it took me seeing somebody else and me realizing I don’t mind the things that bugged me or were holding me back.

I don’t mind all that. The bigger picture is how I feel about that person and their values of wanting to be with me and knowing everything about me.” Nick added, “I think we got perspective.” Nick and Vanessa got married in 2011 and share three kids – sons Camden, 9, and Phoenix, 5, and daughter Brooklyn, 7.
