And my husband and the best friend were the ones who were like, ‘This could lead to complications.’ And I was like, ‘I just feel like you need to procreate.'”

She continued to reveal, “At a point, I was like, ‘No, but seriously, we could arrange this. And then there would be more little Josh’s in the world.’ And like, I love that picture of [what] people needing Josh’s would be. His best friend and the husband were like, ‘Wow, that’s really sweet Ginny. Like what happens?’ And then they explained like all the logistics and I was like, ‘Look, there’s turkey basters.’ It’s not like you’re not gonna be in the kid’s life. Like you’re in my best friend’s life.”

It’s extraordinary to have your partner, who you’ve known all this time, blossom into this woman … who is so nurturing, so caring, and just so cool. She’s so cool and she’s a cool mom. It’s great.”

He also proudly shared a story of his then 11-month-old son Oliver growing up, “Every day is a milestone, like pulling himself up, walking around, holding onto things. He can climb up the stairs like a ninja. It’s just every day there’s something that’s a milestone that amazes you. Like holding his own bottle — that amazes you as a parent.”
