“I always had his dream, as a parent, that he’s just going to come down the aisle. Everything’s going to be so perfect. And that wasn’t the case,” she admitted.
Explaining that it’s “very big” for her and husband Chigvintsev, she explained, “We want him to be able to make that decision one day.”
Nikki continued, “Even though he’s in moments, we didn’t let him film a lot. Even in a series, we’re very protective of it.”
