Juliet made most of the arrangements upon their children’s birth. Julian spoke about how he was not too involved in setting up his first son, Cal’s nursery, although he said he was mentally prepared for the child and compared pregnancy to making an album. He said:

“Making an album can be like being pregnant: you want to pop that thing out and show everybody.”

He summarized their anticipation of their first child as something they were prepared for. The singer revealed that he and his partner were ready for the newborn. They were gifted clothing by people around them and had already gotten the child’s crib.
