Drew and Linda have previously discussed the fact they needed the help of IVF to conceive previously. Drew told People in 2022: "I think for us, the whole thing was we were so lost. We were trying for years, we wanted to have kids for years and with no success.
"It was a lack of education, not having the right support, the right professionals around us. Our fertility endocrinologist was a huge help… Once we started to understand more why things weren't working, Linda has thyroid issues, she has Graves' disease, so trying to understand what we had to do to get to a point where we could even consider conceiving, that was the biggest challenge."
He added that IVF was "really our only bet.” The couple were overjoyed when their first baby arrived - and declared his arrival online, writing: "Our lives are forever changed. Our new baby boy, he's a healthy baby, he's adorable."
While Linda said at the time: "Other than pooped, I feel great. Very happy that he's finally here. I'm still in awe and in disbelief. I feel like every step of this pregnancy has taken me time to adjust. And then as soon as I almost adjust, it's onto the next milestone or the next thing. I feel like I'm always playing catchup with my feelings."
