“I want to be … not miserable alone but [have a] buddy!” said Johnson, who tied the knot with Val last April.

Concurrently, Peta and Maks are looking to expand their family that already includes 3-year0old son Shai Aleksander. The couple want at least four kids in total.
“[I want to have] at least three [biological] and then adopt after that. That’s what we were thinking,” Peta said.
“With the second one, hopefully [we have] a daughter so I also have a child,” Maks joked, adding the couple’s son is a “mama’s boy.”
But in all seriousness, “It’s a beautiful thing,” Maks said of parenthood. “We also want to have more kids. [We didn’t plan] it but this is something that’s a dream come true, so why not coming true with other dreams?”
“We welcome the opportunity and [are] looking forward to it, for sure,” he added.
By seeing Maks as a dad, Val has “learned” that fatherhood really “changes you, as cliché as it sounds.”
“He’s grown up a lot, he’s changed a lot, in the best way possible,” Val said, praising his older brother Maks.
“I shave more often, ’cause [Shai] doesn’t like me [unshaven],” Maks quipped of how having a child has changed him in some physical ways. “That’s what you learn. [I’ll say], ‘I want a kiss!’ and he’s like, ‘No, Papa, no.’ “
“We grew up with amazing parents,” Val said. “Our father is a hero for us and so I’ve always looked at him as somebody that I couldn’t wait to be, as well. So I can’t wait to be a father, and watching Maks become the father that he is has been very motivating for me, as well.”
