Konkle said that she and Erskine introduced their babies to one another “a few days ago for the first time” after both got vaccinated.
“It was really special,” Konkle said with a smile.
“I think they love each other,” Erskine added. “I’m just gonna say it, I don’t think they were like co-existing, I think they were starting deep into each other’s eyes and truly connecting.”
“It was a lot of inappropriate grabbing of face,” Konkle said, while Erskine added, “and licking.”
The stars went on to note that like their own relationship, they believe their kids will be lifelong friends.
“We think they’re gonna grow up probably and be like, ‘Oh yeah, I’ve known Essie forever, but our parents are family friends and I really hate her. ' We think they’re gonna get to that point and then fall back in love,” Erskine teased.

“Alex and I conceived in April and found out in May,” thePlus Onestar told the outlet. “I was in Lake Arrowhead for the week, concentrating on editing, and my partner was in Los Angeles. There was snow on the ground where I was, and an hour away he was in 90-degree heat.”
