In an interview with PEOPLE, the couple expressed their excitement and gratitude as they adjust to their new life as a family of four. Together, they collaborated with Minted to create a unique birth announcement that features the first images of their growing family. These early days with their newborn have been described as nothing short of magical by the couple, who are currently navigating the demands of parenthood with a two-year-old and a newborn.
Reflecting on their daughter’s arrival, Campbell expressed her joy in expanding her family, stating, “This has been everything I dreamed of and more.” Her new daughter has already captured her heart, with Campbell sharing, “Baby is sleeping a lot, and I want to cuddle her 24/7.” In the spirit of sisterly love, Paloma has embraced her new role, eagerly seeking out her little sister and affectionately referring to her as “baby.”
Campbell’s entrance into motherhood began in November 2021 with Paloma’s birth. The recent experience of giving birth to her second child, however, caught the couple off guard when Campbell’s water broke unexpectedly. “We didn’t even have a bag packed and ready. We just rushed to the hospital,” she recalled, cherishing the last moments spent as a family of three before the new addition arrived.
The influencer noted that the delivery went remarkably faster this time than it did during Paloma’s birth. “Once it got down to the end to push, things escalated quicker than with Paloma,” she explained. Their newborn girl, while small, was healthy—something for which the couple expressed immense gratitude. Campbell reminisced about the incredible support they received from their delivery nurse, whom she also had during her first delivery, calling them “true angels.”
Jett, reflecting on the experience, praised his wife’s strength and resilience throughout the ordeal. “Blood was running down her legs, the contractions came right away, and she was so brave,” he said, clearly in awe of how well she handled the unexpected situation. The proud father shared his relief and gratitude that both Campbell and their new daughter are doing well, while Paloma has already embraced her role as a big sister, showering her sibling with kisses.
To mark this special occasion, the couple chose the “Sweet Love” birth announcement designed by Minted artist Juneau Designs. This announcement not only introduces their newest family member but also signifies the anticipation and excitement for the journey that lies ahead. Campbell shared her favourite moments as a new mother of two, saying that naptime with her baby girl feels like “heaven on Earth.”
“The way she looks—like a real-life doll—and that newborn smell is unmatched,” Campbell reflected, highlighting the joys of those early bonding moments. Jett, too, found immense joy in watching his daughters interact, describing the sight of Paloma beside her newborn sister as a touching experience that often brings him to tears.
As they navigate this new chapter in their lives, both Campbell and Jett expressed their happiness and contentment. “There is no hard time. This is our dream,” Jett remarked. Together, they are eager to embrace the challenges and joys that come with raising two daughters, reveling in the love and laughter of their growing family.
