For Ryan, he is in a place that he hasn’t been in for a long time. We are excited to move forward from our past mistakes.”

In addition, Conner suggested she was surprised by her pregnancy.

“We found out only due to me having morning sickness, and ironically, Ryan had morning sickness as well and we just decided to take a test and it came out to be positive,” said Conner to the publication.
