In April, we shared Nurk's thoughts about one-day having children with Oppenheim; Oppenheim had been unsure about becoming a father while with Stause, which reportedly contributed to their split.

Per our report, Nurk was asked about having children in the future in an Instagram Q&A session.

She said, "...It's not a decision to be taken lightly, and I believe that it's important to have the right partner before even considering having children." Nurk would go on to write, "So to answer the question, yes, I'd like to have children one day, but only with the right partner and when we're both ready for that journey."

Nurk said, "We both knew from the beginning that I would have to move back because of my job, friends, and family being here (Paris)." She added, "Long distance relationships can be tough, but we're committed to making it work. We communicate regularly and make time for each other despite the distance."

"At the end of the day, it's important to follow your heart and pursue your dreams, even if it means taking risks and facing challenges," Nurk concluded, with a double heart emoji.

"...being in a relationship isn't about trying to stay interesting or desirable to your partner," Nurk added in another Q&A Instagram story slide. "It's about being true to yourself, communicating well, and supporting each other through the ups and downs of life," she said. (per The Blast)
