Eight months after welcoming Emmy, the spouses revealed that they were ready to have another baby.

“We’re kind of low-key trying for another baby,” Jade, 32, told PEOPLE in April 2018. “We’ve been talking about it. We want our kids to be close in age so they’re close siblings, and I’m not getting any younger.”

“We’ll see when the next one happens, but yeah — we’re officially not not trying!” chimed in Tanner, 31.

For Jade, having two little ones close in age means they’ll potentially be close pals. “I just love the idea of our kids being best friends,” said the former reality star, jokingly adding, “Though they might hate each other at some point!”

The duo, who tied the knot in a televised ceremony that aired on Valentine’s Day 2016, revealed that they had been talking about starting a family from the get-go.

“Two days after my missed period, I took the test,” Jade previously told PEOPLE of finding out she was pregnant with daughter Emmy. “I just knew it. Tanner wanted to be there. He was like, ‘Don’t take it without me.’ “

“One morning we woke up and I took the test and we watched it on the counter and it turned from not pregnant to pregnant. I knew it, but it was like, ‘Holy cow, it’s happening.’ “
