The couple had been enjoying watching their two older children bond prior to the arrival of Cayson. "They're starting to form a relationship, it's cute," the former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader told Us Weekly last year. "They'll go into the playroom and I'll just hear Ava talking to [Beckett] and they're kind of in their own make-believe world. It's fun."
