Nicole on Joel

  • On whether Joel ever comments on her style: "No! He just noticed I had bangs. He noticed those a year ago and we’ve been together for seven years. I’m still waiting for everything from the neck down. He just noticed my bangs.”
  • On whether Joel is romantic: "He's very romantic. Yes, he is. He's an old-fashioned type of guy."
  • On the promise they made before getting married: "We met and we were partners from day one and from the second we found out we were going to be parents together, we looked at each other and we said, 'Okay, both of our parents are divorced. We both have had ups and downs with our parents and we don't really have a strong example of what a healthy family life is, but we're recognizing that now, so let's work at it and let's go through this together as a team.' It's been great."
  • On how she first told Joel she was pregnant with their first child: "I picked a really bad time! I couldn't hold it in. He was flying from Japan to Europe, so right before he gets on a 16-hour flight I was like, 'I have to tell you something.'"
