Here's What Changed Leanne Ford's Mind About Having Kids

According to Leanne Ford herself in People, it was husband Erik — and their relationship — that made her want children. She explained, "Before that ... I was just trekking along in my little career, happy as could be and then you said one time ... he said, 'We have too much love not to share it.'" Leanne added, "I was like, 'I hear that.'"

The "Restored by the Fords" star continued, "It's funny, somebody just changes your mind. You think you've got your whole life figured out, think you have your path figured out, and something comes and just changes your mind." Erik agreed, admitting that "neither of us ever envisioned having children ... When you see your future ahead of you, that wasn't an image that we saw, and now it's here."

Interestingly, Leanne said that she'd always imagined herself having sons if she ever had children at all, and both she and Erik got "teary-eyed" when they were told they were expecting a daughter. Of course, her daughter later arrived, and she shared a sweet story about her daughter's nursery. The couple have hung up all of the love letters they've written each other instead of having a traditional mobile. "This is why you're here, kid. This is the story of you," she told People in another interview when describing the bedroom.
