The network, I think, at the beginning, they just didn't think it was gonna work without the drama that most shows have because this is not the blueprint of reality TV. And I remember my parents pulling us aside and saying, like, never have to do something because they ask you to, like, be true to who you are. I'd never given birth before, so I So I didn't know. That was me. Again, like you know labor's hard. So you're like, yeah, that was crazy. Wow. I wasn't thinking it was gonna be easy. The nurse came in and was like that's the scariest thing that could have happened. I did not know that a conehead was a thing. I was like freaking out. I told them to put a helmet on our face. This happened and then they're all like, they're all kind of scrambling.

And I'm like, have y'all seen through? Have you seen the head? We sat down with Sadie Robertson and Christian Huff. You probably already know Sadie from Duck Dynasty or Dancing with the Stars, but you probably didn't know that she met her husband right after she swore off dating. And together they've been through a lot.

From keeping their relationship hidden from social media to their baby getting stuck during childbirth, we talk about all this and so much more all on today's episode. This episode of Unplanned is brought to you by Huggies Skin Essentials. Baby butts rejoice! New Huggies Skin Essentials are here!

I wanted to open with a confession that I had because when I was in middle school, my

family didn't have cable because we couldn't afford it at the time. And so I actually heard about Sadie at the time because I was illegally streaming Duck Dynasty through this like really sketchy website. And then my parents found out that I like had access to this and they were like, hey, we should have like a party with our friends. And I was like, yeah, we could even eat like jambalaya. That's what they do in Louisiana, right?

So I just wanted to confess that to open up because I feel like that's just not cool. So I'm really sorry. Thank you for your confession. I will say though, good to know Duck Dynasty was reaching lots of places. You didn't even know that. I didn't even know lots of places if you're worse confessionist dreaming most people stream a lot worse things

hey I feel a lot better now so I I don't know I probably like oh your family like probably like $15 from all the episodes that I stream illegally. So. And Venmo me after this. Yeah, I'll just like shoot you as a Venmo. That's hilarious. I'll send you an address for a check.

That's so funny. Christian, is that how you also discovered Sadie growing up? It actually is, yeah. Okay. Not illegally though. You were watching it on Annie. Yeah, my family had cable. Oh, gee.

Me and all my friends were huge Duck Dynasty fans and when I was actually a freshman in high school on the baseball team I told one of the guys that I was going to marry Sadie which I do not remember saying that and it was not until right before we got married that he texted me that. Yeah, he did not tell me that when we were dating like the whole time. Well because I forgot about it. Which was kind of a good thing because I think I would have been like, oh okay, you know that's sweet.

But it was so sweet because we were a week away from our wedding and one of his friends texted him who was invited to the wedding and was like, dude this is so cool. I remember freshman year when you told us on the baseball field you were going to marry her one day and like you're literally marrying her. And I really have no recollection of so I was like okay that's actually really cool like at this point this is really sweet so yeah they were fans of Duck Dynasty but when we met the show had already been over for a couple of years one time one of the first times you came into my family's house they had

a Duck Dynasty cup. Your mom was so embarrassed. They're not the people that you would think would have a Dark Dynasty con. They're not eating jambalaya. They're not eating jambalaya you would expect to see maybe. My dad's not a hunter. No, they're not hunters or anything. Your mom is always so put together, so cute, stylish, opened their cabinet and everything in their house is so beautiful. There it is, all the bearded men in my family on a cup. And his mom was like, oh my gosh, it was a gift. Someone gave that to me. I don't think it was a gift. I think she probably bought it. I think she bought it.

Did you break it up? Yeah, I mean there was no ignoring it. It's like one of those where it's like my dad, my uncle's face is like the beard on this cup. It wasn't one of those like you could be like, oh, it's just like we didn't know it was Doug Dynasty. Like it was my whole family. It was hilarious. We were like the normal, you know, we weren't like gonna go drive to West Monroe and you know.

Y'all were just like, y'all just watched Doug Dynasty. We kept up with it on TV. And you had a cup. Yeah, and it had a crush on you. And you had a crush on me and I didn't know that. Christian, do you have an urge to just grow out of really long beard at some point?

I have, well so I really, I can't, well first off I can't. That's kind of like a prerequisite that I thought would be being able to grow out a beard and I can't. Well I can kind of grow some scruff but I can't, like there's no volume in it. But I've thought about maybe doing some things to enhance it. But I like that he's like clean shaven. I'm like, don't go there. That's like not my thing.

That is my job. Last hunting season, I grew out a little bit, but it's just kind of scraggly. I feel you, bro. I'm the same way. I wish I could grow something. Like my father-in-law the other day, I hadn't shaved in like two days or three days.

And he was like, oh, are you growing it out? And he was like, oh, actually you have all that like patchy area over there. I was like, oh, are you growing it out? And he's like, well, actually you have all that like, you know, patchy area over there. I'm like, yeah, I can't really do much. So kind of a kind of a bummer, but that's okay with me, Matt. I wanted to know though, I want to know what, what is the origin story of the show? Because I feel like most people are like, yeah, I watched out dynasty growing up, but they probably don't know how it actually came to be. Yeah. So this is such a good question and actually my family just put out a movie last year called The Blind and it's really cool. And this is really cool because we were flying and it was on Delta.

It was like one of the movie choices on Delta so you can watch it on your flight. But it kind of shares a little bit of the backstory of my family that a lot of people don't know. Really, my grandpa's story. So my grandpa was like crazy wild man, like lived in the woods, literally like wild man. And that was whenever my dad was like really young, he ended up making a lot of mistakes. They owned a bar at the time,

like doing all this crazy stuff. When he came out of his like wild days and he like had a completely like transformation of lifestyle, like he came to know Jesus, changed his whole life. And then he was like, hey, what am I gonna do? He had a completely transformation of lifestyle. He came to know Jesus, changed his whole life, and then he was like, hey, what am I going to do? And he actually was listening to my uncle, who was really little at the time, play on his little flute.

And he was like a little flute thing. And he was thinking, that sounds like a duck. It kind of sounded like the sound of a duck. And he actually invented the first two-readed duck call. So he invented the duck call, and the movie alludes to this. It was really just the back story of his life. So he invented the duck call.

He tried to sell it all these places. Like went to Walmart, went to other places, look at my invention, and he would blow the duck call and then play the sound of a duck, and it sounded just like it. And so he started a company called Duck Commander and they sold duck calls but like not everybody is buying a duck call, you know. So they would make like VHS tapes of like them hunting and like using the duck call.

It was called Duck Commander. Duck Man. Oh, Duck Man. It was like yeah, Duck Man. Yeah, Duck Man. But the company was Duck Commander. It was called Duck Man, the videos. So my dad finally, he was the only brother that went to college, my mom and dad,

my mom's like very business woman too, so they were like, I think we could grow this company. So they took over Duck Commander, and my mom loves reality TV, and she was like, the best thing we could do for the company is have a reality TV show, because then it would get people who aren't hunters to know about Duck Commander or are hunters

and don't know about the Duck Call. So the first thing that they did was pitch it to the outdoor channel. And so we had a show on outdoor channel called The Duck Commander Family. And it was a hunting show of course, but it had so much of our family on it. I was like 10 probably.

And the interviews of me as a 10 year old are hilarious. I'm like the country-est accent ever, which I still do, but I really did then. Really really really bad. It was pretty embarrassing and so anyways the show started doing so well and breaking all these records on the outdoor channel because now like moms like wives and kids are watching the outdoor channel and that's not normally the case so bigger networks started seeing it. The outdoor channel is a channel on cable and it has hunting on the outdoor channel. Oh great, okay. Wouldn't have ever known that. Christian, too far. These aren't new friends. I don't know if he was illegally

streaming the outdoor channel at some point. He found a way. Another thing we have to confess, the outdoor channel was doing great and so other networks are noticing we started getting all these offers from other networks and A&E actually put in an offer to take over the show but they wanted to change the name to Doug Dynasty which we thought was so funny because it wasn't a dynasty this is like a duck called business like Duck Commander and we were like that seems a little far-fetched and it is kind of crazy because of Doug Dynasty. It did kind of become like a dynasty because people were buying Duck Calls like crazy who would never buy a Duck Call, who are never gonna use a Duck Call but just wanted it because of the show and so my mom was right it was the best thing for the business but more than

that it was a godly family on TV with good morals and values and having fun and being silly and blowing things up and people just love the show and it broke all kinds of cable records which is just absolutely crazy. It's still the most. It's like the most watched show ever on cable and actually the most.

Nonscripted. Nonscripted, the biggest episode was when my grandparents renewed their vows which I think is so sweet. Oh my goodness. Yeah, isn't that so sweet? That's really sweet. And that was like the biggest stream show on TV. Oh cool. Nonscript goodness. Yeah, that's so sweet. That's really sweet. And that was like the biggest stream show on TV, a non-scripted.

Oh cool. Isn't that cool? That's really cool. I know. It's like a wild story, but that's kind of like overview of it. That's so cool because like you're saying, it's such a wholesome family whereas I feel like reality TV definitely does not lean towards wholesome at all. So that's really one of the few

that I can think of. Okay now that I'm like we're talking about this my memory just got refreshed. I feel like my mom like ten years ago was like I love this show because they wanted to like make it look like they were cussing at one point but then they actually weren't. Yeah. Wasn't there some storyline about how your family fought the network on like, hey, we want to make this clean and the network wanted to act like there were some curse words being said here and there. Oh yeah, the first episode.

I'll never forget, we were all watching as a family, we had a big party because the first show was coming out and they bleeped my mom. And my mom doesn't cuss and we were like, mom! We were all so shocked and she was like, I didn't say that. That was not, I did not cuss. And we were like, what the heck? That was so crazy. Because she was running up bleachers in the first episode

and it was like beep, but she didn't say anything. Really? Yeah, and I know that. My mom, she did not say anything. And so, because you know my mom, she's so funny. And the sweetest, chillest lady, that just wasn't out of her character she wouldn't have done that and so anyways they were like we we kind of like fought the network on it this is once the episode was already been aired yeah hey like don't do that

because yeah and also like I mean we're human you know it's not like we're all not capable of dropping a word, but she was like, I actually didn't say that, so I don't want to be represented in that way if that's not even true. And they were always, at the beginning, they just didn't think it was going to work. Like, it's not going to work. A show on cable, a TV show, a reality TV show without the drama that most shows have, without the fighting and this. So they would always try to like stoke a fight between like the couples or they would tell us to be, I remember one time in the episode we were like picking up sticks for my grandpa

and they were like, hey, when he asks you say no. And I was like, no way. There is no way I'm going to tell him no. Like That would have been so disrespectful. And so I was like, they did it again. He's like, go pick up six. I was like, yes sir. And they're like, no, just this time, just for the scene. And I remember our parents pulling us aside and saying, you never have to do something because they ask you to.

Be true to who you are in that scene. And so we were true to who we are. And actually, people loved it because people were like, wow, respectful kids on TV. So cool to see them respect their grandpa, which was true. And so they thought this is not gonna work, but that's the very thing that works, you know? That people love that. And then the drama comes from just the drama of,

like I said, they literally would blow things up, they would do crazy things, my dad would come in and no one was working, and he'd be like, get your butts up and work. You know, it would do crazy things, my dad would come in and no one was working and he'd be like, get your butts up and work. It was like funny drama, but it wasn't like hateful or rude or like too far. But yeah, the network, I think at the beginning it was just like, how is this going to work? Because this is not the blueprint of reality TV, but that's what people want to see.

How cool. I love that. There was an episode where your family went frog gigging. I think it was like your uncle Sai's idea or something. And I remember like the show influenced me in a way because I remember telling my dad like, dad have you ever been frog gigging? Like we should we should definitely do this. And so my dad took me and my little brother and then my cousin who was visiting us from like a small town in Illinois at the time and he had like a southern accent and everything. We all went

frog gigging. And sure enough, we ended up getting to like, just like in the episode how they got in trouble for frog gigging on a golf course. We got in trouble for doing it in a residential area because it was like a pond in a neighborhood. But there were so many frogs. So I mean, like, why would you not go to this?

I mean, there were probably 500 frogs at this pond. We were just catching them left and right. I'm so confused. Are you killing them? So that's the thing. I felt really bad. They die eventually. They die eventually.

But no, that's the thing. The frog digging, it's like a little spear, like a mini spear, but I felt really bad about using that. So we would catch them with nets, like little like nets to use on the beach. And then put them out of the misery later. And then, yeah, I'm not going to say what we did then. Stop! I was like, this is my job. Anyway, now I feel really bad, but they tasted so good. You ate them? the misery later and then yeah i'm not gonna say what we did that but i but yeah anyway

now i feel really bad but they tasted so good you eat them why if you kill it you gotta eat it that's the that's the beauty of it that's the beauty of it that's the hunting if you're gonna kill it you gotta eat it there's tons of them killing i guess i didn't realize you were even killing them i'm not gonna yeah well yeah but you eat it you eat the frog yeah but the way i'm not gonna say how we did it but it like, it was a very humane way of just like, instantaneous boom, they were out. But I feel like that's so much more ethical than some of the ways that they, I don't know.

Have you ever like ran over a frog in the rain? I sure hope not. I'm sure you have. I'm sure you have. There's not a lot of frogs in Arizona. Oh, that's true. In Louisiana, it's inevitable. Okay, that's the funny part is I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, like near the city, and then Abby grew up literally 100 feet from a cornfield, and she's the one who like had never grown up around a farm and done all that, but I had my grandpa had a farm, so we'd go out there and go like quail hunting and stuff. I was like rural is different than country. Sometimes they're together, sometimes they're not. That is true, I'll give you that.

Yeah. And also, people always assume I'm a hunter because I'm in the Robertson family, and I'm like, no, I've actually never been duck hunting with my family. I've only been deer hunting twice, and I was like, cool, I don't think I'm gonna do this again. That's just not for me, and I love that they do it.

I really do appreciate that them and our family do it. I think it's a really amazing amazing thing and we have deer meat and the you know We always have like the meat of this season of the hunting season and that's what we eat as a family and that's what we Come around the table and it's actually like a really beautiful tradition and stuff I love that about my dad and my family, but I just don't like it like I don't want to do it You know, and so it's funny. Well, you like to sleep in Like the cold water in the winter and kill ducks That's just not my thing. Did you have to get like initiated into Sadie's family in order to I didn't have to I didn't really I I am I I do really enjoy you didn't have to but you just naturally did. I just naturally did.

Me and her dad are really close. We enjoy all the same things, sports and evangelism and all the different things. But we really bond over college football and tennis and... So hunting was just natural. Hunting was natural. But yeah, I was not a big hunter growing up and really enjoy it now. I enjoy just the sport element, just the camaraderie and just the community elements of it. It's fun. Like getting out with your guy friends and getting out in the woods. It's really cool.

I mean, what was that like being a kid and then everybody I'm sure is seeing you in public

and you're like, Sadie, can I have a picture with you? Yeah, no. Not at all. That was very, I think, unexpected. I don't think anyone could have expected that because it really was so different than a lot of reality shows. Not a lot of reality shows do hit that level of success. So I don't think we even had, no, we never even thought about that.

We ended up, I think, how many seasons did we do, over 10, 145 episodes, five years of filming. I mean, we did not expect that, you put out one season and you don't really know what's gonna come after that. I do remember the first times going out and being like, oh wow, this is kinda different and crazy. But I was shielded from that for a little bit longer than I feel like what people would've thought because we started filming the show when I was shielded from that for a little bit longer than I feel like what people would have thought because

We started filming the show when I was in eighth grade and then ninth grade year Is when the show took off and my family was traveling doing other things But I was in high school like you know just living a more normal lifestyle and then The show kept getting crazier and then my junior year of high school is when I was on Dancing with the Stars And that's when my life changed, because it was like, oh, now I'm not just the kid in the Robertson family, it's like I have my own following and stuff, and then that's whenever I feel like, okay, this is weird.

People are showing up to my basketball games because they know who I am and bringing their duck calls and quacking whenever I dribble, and I was like, this is not fun. So I feel like I didn't experience the elevation of fame how it was overnight for my parents. I feel like I was kind of slow into it for me. And then when I was in Dance of the Stars,

I was like, oh wow, this is kind of life changing. And the cool thing for you, you talk about it getting famous with your whole family. Yeah. Which is like not isolation. I think that's what is so cool for us. That's what I mean, it was kind of slow. I think that's what is so cool for us. That's why I mean it was kinda like slow because I think when a lot of people get famous,

it's just them and it feels like so isolating. And I'm so grateful I got to go into fame with my entire family. My parents, my cousins, my siblings. There's like 40 of us and we're all like, what's happening, this is crazy. And I remember we all had dinner and I remember everyone was like,

hey, no one get the big head like this is all This is like for the glory of God. This is what our family's doing together This is something that like if they take it away tomorrow We're gonna be just fine because we were good without it It's a blessing to have it and so having like my mentors and my parents and like aunts and uncles and grandparents speak this over me as they're experiencing the same thing I think is what Set us up really well. Because people say like, how did you come out okay?

Because a lot of people, especially young kids, come out of reality TV or Hollywood and it really affects them. And like, well I can see why. Like if I was doing that alone, it would have been really bad. Like it would have been really, really hard. And there are so many things that were really, really hard that I went through privately,

you know, and had help to go through. But experiencing it with my whole family made it very, very special. Yes. It's clear when you say that because I feel like now, especially there's been so much that's come out with reality TV about how it can be really hurtful to a family and how, I don't know, there's things happening behind the scenes that people on television didn't know about. And so just to see your family thrive and come together and not be affected in a negative

way. I mean, it really, I feel like it's a cool testament to just how tightly knit your family is and how much you love each other. I love that when people told you to you know disrespect your grandpa that you said no I'm gonna stay true to who I am and I think that's really yeah I think it was like key that we were so open with communication during the whole thing like my parents were communicating What was hard for them? Like I remember? This is kind of like crazy, but just there's so many beautiful sides to fame and there's really hard things, too

I remember there is one time where a magazine put out a fake story of my mom, but it was like really bad, like really, really bad. And including fake pictures of my mom, they were like, like people use, I guess it wasn't AI at the time, but some way made it look like my mom's face on another person's body, it was terrible.

That flew around like all of our schools in town, like locally, and I remember remember hearing about it from Twitter and everyone at school was talking about it. And we were going home and being like, oh my gosh, and I remember my mom like, you knew it was like, this is not me, this is not what happened, and you just have to know it's true kind of thing.

And then it ended up coming out, lawyers got involved and busted the story, did not be true, they had the actual picture of my mom that the person used to make it look fake and actually print it automatically. I mean, it's crazy. But I just remember the open communication of my mom sharing how that affected her,

but what is true. I think it helps so much to be like, okay, you know what? Having influence in the world, you're gonna have the opinion of man all day long. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, but you gotta know truth. And when you stand on truth and you have a opinion of man all day long and like sometimes it's good sometimes bad but like you I gotta know truth and when you stand on truth and you have a family of people to communicate and speak truth it is so powerful how you can get

through those things together and come out so much stronger and I think that's what bought that is why my family is so close because we went through that together and like had to have conversations with each other so openly and so honestly I don't know that we would have how we not all been experiencing the same thing at the same time, you know? So it was a wild time and mostly great, and then some hard, you know?

And I think even too, yeah, being open about like negative comments I actually do, you know, like being, the openness and the vulnerability be like actually does hurt your feelings, it does affect you. I'm sure you guys know, like when people say mean things that actually, like there actually is something deep that like, you know, it does affect you. I'm sure you guys know, when people say mean things, it actually, there actually is something deep that does affect you.

So I think even being open and being like, yeah, when people say mean and hurtful things, it actually does affect you. It's hard. And going through all that together, I remember the first time I got a mean comment on Twitter when Duck Dynasty started, I just got my Twitter account, just got social media,

which my mom made us wait a little bit before we did. And someone was like, at legit city rob, you look like a man. And I was like, oh my gosh, like this person said I look like a man. I was like, you know, 14. I was like, what in the world? I remember I went to my mom and I was like,

mom, someone just said I look like a man. And then my mom said, it's okay, someone to me tagged me and said, you look like Squidward from SpongeBob And it was like so crazy, but we're going through this together. You know what I mean? It's like okay, and then she got to help me go through like fame So that's what I say so unique about the whole thing like our family did it together So she had her own struggle

She had crazy stuff happen to her that affected her and that was hard But like she was able to speak with me through the things that I was going through too and it was cool. Hmm that's really neat. Crazy I appreciate you guys being open about all that too because I feel like I don't know people probably get afraid to talk about the the hard challenges that you face with with fame and I don't know just navigating that can be so difficult so that's cool that your whole family just banded together and stuck together and supported one another I love that so much. We're a laugh at yourself kind of family. I love that. I think that's the key to it. You gotta laugh at yourself. You gotta just be able to like roll with the punches.

I have a hard time with them. Christian does have a hard time with them. You have to learn how to get made fun of. I'm not a laugh at yourself kind of guy. You gotta learn how to get made fun of and roll with the punches. Is your family sarcastic? Yes, very much so. Okay. My family? Your family? Really? You think we're sarcastic? You don't think your dad is sarcastic? Yes, very much so. My family? Your family? Really? You think we're sarcastic? You don't think your dad is sarcastic? Oh, I don't know. I feel like he's just straight up. That's true. I think he means it. I think he means it, actually. Yeah, that's probably true. But he's legitimately probably the funniest person I've ever met. He is one of the funniest people in the world. Like he could be stand up comedy. But I don't think he's sarcastic. I think he's just straight up.

It's like funny because he's a little brutal. He's just witty. Is that intimidating? Who's funnier, your dad or your uncle Si? Well that's different humors. That's like ones you're laughing at and one you're laughing with. Okay. If we're very honest. Like your dad, he's just so witty. Like if you say something he has the quickest comebacks you've ever seen. Oh yeah. Which you can't laugh at yourself but that's the problem. You can dish it but you can't take it. I know. Trust me, I'm really aware the problem. You can dish it, but you can't take it. I know. Trust me, I'm really aware of that. I can dish it, but the moment someone says something to me, I just get the laugh. Hold it!

Like your pink drink right there? Yeah, yeah. If you're watching this and you're judging my pink drink, then I might make it funny for drinking it, but don't come at me. Don't come at me! Both Christian and I are rocking the pink energy drinks today. Thanks a lot for sponsoring this party. Christian was like,

are we gonna say that these are our wife drinks? I was like, bro, I think we can just rock it and the flavor is amazing. It actually is really good. No, my family makes fun of each other a lot and your family doesn't really. Oh, I know. Yeah, so that's, I feel the same way Christian

because Abby's family is so sarcastic. So I had to learn. Well, yes sarcastic, but also we just like give each other such a hard time. I took everything so literally growing up because my family is not sarcastic at all. So I was like, wait, is your mom like being mean to me? Like does she like me? And she's like, no, she's being sarcastic.

I was like, she's just, she's just showing she cares. Yeah, well it is funny because like you rag me all the time and especially on my podcast, like he'll just like say stuff to me. I think it's so funny because that's my family's humor. It reminds me so much of my mom and dad. Like they just give it to each other me. I think it's so funny, because that's my family's humor. It reminds me so much of my mom and dad. Like, they just give it to each other. So I think it's funny. And then people are always in the comments like,

he's so mean to Sadie. Also, I'm like, no, I think it's funny. It may break. I know. Yeah, well, I'm very sarcastic. You are. Me and my family, we're on the more sarcastic side. So you just gotta be able to take it back.

I know. Laugh at yourself. I know, I know, I'm getting there. I'm getting better. I guess the key to life, you know how to laugh at yourself. Makes life way more fun. That's true. Way less stressful. That's a good point. Okay, let's talk about your love story a little bit. I know earlier we were talking about how Christian had confessed that he loves Sadie and wanted to marry Sadie back in like high school, but like what can we dive into here? Because I feel like there's, I don't know, I feel like there's so much more to it than that. Have we actually come together and meet? Yeah.

Yeah. You want to tell it or do you want me to? You got it. This is a good story. So it is- You're way more articulate than I am. It is kind of funny. I can tell the fast version ish.

But so I was down at the beach where they, their family kind of is from. So have you ever been to 30A? Yeah. 30A, amazing. I went there growing up. I love 30A, so I was down there on a girls trip with my friends.

He was down there with his family, because that's where they're from. We were down there, and the day before I met Christian, I was in another relationship, and I was like, I really feel like it's time to break up with this person. I had just kind of been on this, honestly, unhealthy pattern of just dating people, breaking up, dating people, breaking up,

and I was so desperate to find the one, but I was just in a bad head space. I feel like my desperation for that kind of took away from the beauty of what that actually means, to find the person you're spending your life with. It had just honestly become a distraction in my life. And so I broke up with this guy, and I had this super honest conversation with my friends like I gotta be done with dating for a while.

I just am seeing myself being desperate for this thing and I think it's actually distracting me of what that actually is all about and what God has for me and I just wanna recenter myself and trust that God has that person in my life. So this honest conversation with them about how I'm done dating, I really need to slow down, all this stuff and I make a video with my friends on July 2nd, 2018 saying I'm done dating, I'm holding myself accountable to y'all and myself, I'm making this video. It's like so dramatic. Literally, July 3rd, 2018, I'm walking on the beach and, sorry, I keep hitting this mic, I'm walking on the beach and his cousin had messaged me the day before

because they all knew my sister. I met Bella a year prior. They knew my sister from being down in Seaside. And so anyways, his cousin messaged me and was like, hey, we're all at the beach. We'd love to meet you. We know your sister. I'm thinking, yeah.

And I actually told her we're going crab hunting, which this was not killing crabs. This was just catching them, putting them back on the beach. And so I said, we're going crab hunting. we have extra nets, y'all should come. Thinking it's just gonna be the girls that were coming. And so they come walking up and Christian's with them. You know I tied along for them. Yeah.

So Christian comes and- I wasn't gonna miss out on the crab hunting. Yes. So he knew I was coming. I didn't know he was coming because again, freshman year, he knew of me and I was like, okay, so I see Christian walking up and I turn around to my friends and I said delete the video I was like, he's so cute like I knew it was like love at first sight It was like I know I said this yesterday, but today like this is a new story

Wait, this video was it something you had already posted? I know it wasn't to be posted. I just made a video with my friend saying like I'm not gonna Oh, I was like I'm not gonna date for a while and so I made this video and I said July 2nd 2018 this is me saying I'm not gonna date for a while we're holding myself accountable got it then July 3rd I see Christian and I turn around and say delete that video because I was like oh shoot like he's so cute and then they're like no don't even talk to him don't even look at him like they're trying to help me. They're like staying. This is a the whole night, I'm- This is a serious thing.

I really did need to stop dating. I really did need a break. And so, I see him though, and I'm like, oh shoot, what am I gonna do? So the whole night, I'm trying to not talk to him because they are like, don't talk to him, blah, blah, and then he's not talking to me. I'm talking to her friends the whole night,

because I'm like, you know, my first time meeting you, I'm not gonna be like that overbearing person. So he's talking to my friends, and like- So I'm talking to her friends the whole time to kind of seem casual. Yes. And like, you know, my first time meeting you, I'm not gonna be like that overbearing person. So he's talking to my friends and I'm like, why? So I'm talking to her friends the whole time, it kinda seemed casual. And like, I've been here before. And my friends are so beautiful, like literally a model. And I was like, oh crap, like he's gonna date one of them.

It's so annoying. Why did I make that stupid video? And so I was like, he's gonna date them. And one of them is gonna be fine, whatever, okay. Hold myself accountable. So I'm like talking to his girl cousins. And then at the end of the night, he comes up to me and he's like, hey, you know,

which this part embarrasses him so bad, but I love to tell this part. Because now that I know you, I'm like, I actually can't believe you did this either. Because they're so bold for you. You were like, he's like, you know, you're welcome. He's like, you know, you follow everyone in my family but me on Instagram. And I was like, oh really? you follow everyone in my family but me on Instagram.

And I was like, oh really? Which actually that was true. And I don't know why I just never followed Christian. My sister knew all of them. Because you thought I was too cute and you didn't want to put yourself on film. No, I just was like, I'm not going to follow him because I don't know you. But my sister was friends with all the girl cousins, like his brother, and I had heard so much about them.

So I followed all of them but Christian. I was like, oh really, okay, ha ha. And then I'm thinking like, okay sweet, like that's interesting, he said that. So then I get home and I follow him back, but I don't even tell my friends I follow him back, because I'm like, they're gonna be like, don't do this. And so I see a DM pop up, and I'm like,

oh my gosh, I can't believe he already DM'd me, this is crazy. So I click on it, and I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't believe he already DM'd me. This is crazy. So I click on it and it was actually from two years before and it was from him and he was like, hey, he saw me at Passion Conference speaking and he said, I saw you at Passion Conference and I just think it's amazing what God's doing in your life. I just think it's so awesome what you're doing, standing for him. And he was like, just wanted to send you this encouragement, keep going. And then he said, and I also think you're the most

beautiful girl in the world. And I was like, oh my gosh. So then I'm sitting on this like sweet DM from two years ago. I'm like, what am I gonna do? So anyways, finally. I did sit on it for three days. Do you remember sending that DM? Yes, I do.

I don't remember like typing it out, but I remember shooting my shot. Did you actually say though I think you're the most beautiful girl in the world? He straight up did. I actually can't that's why I was like he was so bold and like you're kind of shy in a lot of scenarios so I was so shocked that he said that now it's even more shocking that we're married and I know you so well because I'm like that was really bold and brave of you. But when I saw it, I was like, oh my gosh, that was the nicest thing ever.

Thank you to Factor for sponsoring this portion of today's episode. I never understood how moms would be like, oh, I forgot to eat lunch. I never understood it. Now I understand, I've forgotten to eat lunch multiple days in a row and I got a migraine every single day.

I actually have not eaten lunch today. And that's why we're so thankful to Factor because they actually make it easy to make a meal very quickly. You get it fresh, never frozen, to your doorstep. You can pop the meals right in the microwave for about two minutes and then boom, you have a meal ready to go.

Why have you not been eating Factor meals recently? Well, we need a shipment and it's actually coming in. Oh yay, I'm excited for that one. Yeah, which is gonna be really good because they literally could not make it easier for you. There's no shopping, no prepping, no cooking, no cleaning up, which is really what I need for lunch because there's so much going on in the day. In the morning, I can find time to prepare a quick breakfast.

Dinner time, obviously, is a very intentional time, but lunch just gets overlooked so often. And Factor isn't just convenient, it's also very yummy. They have 35 different meals and more than 60 add-ons to choose from every week that are delicious. They have things like restaurant quality meals that feature premium ingredients like filet mignon, shrimp, and blackened salmon. The way you just said filet mignon just cracked me up.

It was just such a kind message. And so anyways, I took three days to think about it and I was like, all right, I'm gonna DM him back. And so we started DMing, started talking and then he shortly after that asked me to go on a date. Because we had started talking on the phone a lot. Every night we'd talk on the phone. And it was like that classic love story

where we were talking for like three hours, and I would tell my friends, no, I promise, it's nothing. We're just getting to know each other. We're just friends. Which we really were. We really were just talking casually and getting to know each other.

Well, and this was my first relationship too that I was actually being intentional about really pursuing it from a purity standpoint. I'm really going out. I'll call you at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. He was so intentional. He would say, hey, I'm going to call you tomorrow night at 7. Does that work for you?

It was kind of set up dates, but it was so intentional. He wasn't flirty, he wasn't pushy. I wasn't that. We were just really truly getting to know each other because Christian, like I said, I mentioned I had a past of like dating, dating, dating but it was like in this search of marriage but it wasn't actually like good relationships. It was just like I so wanted that that I was jumping into every relationship that I could find instead of just like resting in the fact that God had someone for me. And he was in a different way dating a bunch of people and not a very godly way and just kind of doing it

for, I don't know, college life. Very typical college life. I was insecure, hopeless romantic. Getting with a lot of girls and stuff. And so this was the first time he was actually gonna pursue a girl purely and intentionally. And it was the first time that I was gonna slow things down and actually just get to know someone.

And if we don't date, we don't date, that's fine, but I just wanna know your heart. Well not at the time, yeah. Leading up to that, I was not super serious about my faith, which is why I was with women like that. And then when I finally, a year prior to meeting Sadie, I really got serious about my faith. God did a lot in my life from that.

And then, yeah, so I had a year of really kind of getting to know God and who he was and what his plan for me was. And then by the time I met Sadie- The type of relationship you had with him. Yeah, I was actually, yeah. I had, you know, binge watched all these sermons on dating well and how to pursue a woman and all those different things. So then when we actually got the chance to meet,

it was like my first, it was like a fresh start of like, okay, here's how I can actually do this. Here's the blueprint of how to be successful in this and to pursue it. And it was really funny, because there's this book called Single Dating Engaged Married by Ben Stewart. We love Ben Stewart, he's an incredible pastor,

wrote this great book. And I ended up reading the book later and I was like, he's following this to a T. Like it was so funny. I was like, I think he literally like said this to me. But I appreciate it. I was taking notes. Because you were really trying to do things.

I heard this before. I was like, I totally, you totally did that. But anyway, so we started talking all the time. He asked me on a date and I was like, hey, I actually, when I said I need to slow things down I really meant it and it has nothing to do with you But it really is everything to me like I just haven't I don't think I'm ready yet But I gave him the date like September the 10th if you want to take me on a date which was like two months from the

Time he asked me and he was like that's two months away I was like, yeah, but let's just keep getting to know each other. So we did then he came into Nashville Actually, these were our small the grounds We came to Franklin And we got a thing too. I was in college with like a couple thousand followers on Instagram, you know, and you're you know Super well known with like millions of followers. So it was even the early dynamic of like yeah stepping into something that's so Outside of anything that I have a frame of reference for. Was that intimidating? Like knowing, okay, I screw this up.

I could be like the person the internet hates for breaking Sadie Robertson's heart. I would have never dumped her. She was going to dump me, but I talked her out of it. I actually did. Oh you were? No way! Wait, bro, why did I say that? Okay, so this is-

I can't, it makes me so sad. Well, actually, you didn't even know I tried to break up with him until I was telling the story one time and he was like, you were breaking up with me. This was like six months later. And I was like, you didn't know that? I feel like I can communicate. That was the end. Yeah, no, that was almost the...

Well, okay, again, this was all on me. Like, it was all on me. It was just... And to your point, too, again, this was all on me. Like it was all on me. It was just, and to your point too, kind of the same. I kind of thought I needed to date someone who understood what my life was like, but actually I didn't. Like I really needed the opposite of that.

I think part of our lives being so different is what attracted me to you. Because I wanted the normal. You know, I wanted it to just be normal. And I think I love that about you and the season you were in, just being in college and like I love hanging out with all your college friends and just getting to be like a normal person that was, you know, 20 years old because I felt like I wasn't sometimes like that.

So anyways, when we went on our date, it was really great. It was really fun. We, he came up to here and we had like three days in Nashville, just like hanging out and get to know each other. He got to know my friends and it was awesome I thought it was fantastic. Then like two weeks later I was just kind of like oh man I don't think I can do this like I don't think I can I don't think I'm ready because I was about to go on tour my life was so crazy and I just got in my head about like he's his

life is so good like he's in college he like has all these great friends he had this like super just like established normal life in the best way. And I felt like my life being as crazy it was would be like a burden to him. And so it was kinda like, what is that called? Like self-deprecating where you're like, take yourself out of the equation because you don't think,

I didn't think it was gonna be good for him. I was like, this is too crazy. I don't wanna do this to him. It was almost like you convinced yourself. I convinced myself it was kinda too good to be true and I just need to remove myself from the situation. And crazy. I don't wanna do this to you. It was something like you convinced yourself. I convinced myself like it was kinda too good to be true and I just need to remove myself from the situation. And like, you don't wanna date me because this is gonna be so crazy.

Would you say you're an indecisive person? Indecisive? Yeah. Actually, normally not. I'm indecisive. He is. Really? I'm like very decisive, I'm normally,

and this was the thing with Christian that was different. I unintentionally can take lead in like a lot of situations. Like I think you know I lead a business, a ministry, I speak a lot, like challenging message. And so really typically I'm very decisive and I take like lead. And he was such a good leader and I had never had someone like that, that I think I was like wow this is actually what I want and what I need. But I was like I don't want you to have this craziness. I'm not ever going to get to come visit you in college because I can't do that.

I can't come visit you just casually at Auburn. I would want you to have that. I'm going to be on tour and it's going to be crazy and you're just going to have to come see me. I don't want that for you. It was more like, you're so great and you're just gonna have to come see me and I don't want that for you. It was more like you're so great and you're gonna find someone that's so awesome and I just don't want you to have like the complications of my lifestyle. So anyways, like I call him to break up with him and I'm like...

I thought it was just a routine phone call. I know and so I'm starting to tell him that like I'm about to go on tour and my life is really crazy and really busy and just like over explaining everything and I'm like so all that to say like I don't I just don't think this is gonna work out and he was like, huh, I might stop which is so funny that you didn't know this burger with you because you didn't even let me and he was like wait stop and I love that because again like he was leading he was like hey listen and he said never apologize for the things God's doing in your life. And that was so shocking to me. Because I think for a lot of the relationships that I was in,

I spent so much time saying, I'm sorry that I had these opportunities, because maybe it made them feel insecure about it or something. Or I would always try to play it low, play it down what God was doing or the opportunities I was getting, because I didn't want anyone else to feel threatened by that or like see me any Differently and he was like no, they don't apologize for what God's doing

You're like that's awesome Like you're going on tour and then he said listen if it's a win for you and if it's a win for the kingdom Then it's always gonna be a win for me. And I literally remember being like, okay, shut up Like this guy's amazing and like I'm gonna reel that back And so he didn't even know I was breaking up with him because then we just had like a great conversation and he ended up showing up on tour, like really supporting me and he's always lived like that.

Like if it's a win for me, it's a win for him. If it's a win for the kingdom, it's a win for us. And that was actually something I said in our vows on our wedding day. I was like, I remember like that's when I knew you were someone I wanted to marry because that's the kind of relationship I want to be in if it's a win for you. It's a win for the kingdom

It's a win for me and that's how our dynamic works and you have lived so true to that But yeah, I went from like a breakout to like hold up. I'm gonna marry you Why do I hear that story so often though? Like people are like the time that I was going to end it all is when I decided that we were gonna be together forever I feel like that happens a lot Matt did almost break it with me one time though. Well a month in because you were my first girlfriend And I was like I was also going from the perspective of like okay I need to decide if I'm gonna marry this girl or not, but it was it was a month in I was 18

And then I was like I don't know what I'm gonna do like I I have so much life to live But then once again routine phone call like what Yeah, when did you find out though? When did Sadie end up opening up to you and saying hey by the way that phone call it was like I think it was like Conversation I was like you were dumping me that night. Someone was like Break up and I was like, oh, yeah. Well, I did go to break out with him. He was like what this is like Oh, I don't think it was post marriage, but it was like. I almost want to say it was post marriage. It might have been post marriage.

We were like well past this. When someone asked that question, I was like, oh yeah, I went to break out with him and he was so shocked. I was like, how did you not know that? When I literally said it, I don't think it's gonna work out. But I think he was like. I don't think you said that. I did.

Yeah, but you were already in route to say, no, no, no. I didn't have the ears to hear. Like you were already, like you know whenever you're like, I know what I'm gonna say. She's just shaking. So you missed the last thing. She's shaking, she's shaking. Yeah, but that was already in route to say no, no, no, I don't have years to like your heart Like you know, whatever you're like, I Yeah, but that was so good for me I needed that and yeah, I think Maybe I'm decisive on the things that are small within those big things You're like hold up and because again when you're doing something wrong for so long Like I didn't have confidence in myself like in my decision-making in that like is this good? Is this this good? Is this

not good? And then all of a sudden it was like so good that I was like, I don't know if I can do this. This is, this is crazy. This is actually happening. Like it's right in front of me. And then I almost lost it, but thankfully you were anchored. Christian, did you feel a lot of pressure at that time dating Sadie, knowing that she's a public figure? You just like this girl, but obviously I don't, you don't like strike me as a guy that's's a public figure. You just like this girl, but obviously, you don't like strike me as a guy that's like, I love social media and influencing. So I don't know, I feel like that must have been,

I'm guessing, challenging for you to navigate that while you're dating this girl with the intentions of marriage, because- Well, it was cool, because when we started dating, I'm in school at Auburn, I'm taking just business classes, driving up to Nashville every weekend, and something that was cool, when we started dating, I'm in school at Auburn, I'm taking just business classes, driving up to Nashville every weekend. And something that was cool, because we started dating in August of 2018,

but you didn't post on social media until March of 2019, I guess. So we'd had a well-established relationship for those seven or eight months. I felt the intimidation, especially when you posted, I think I went from 7,000 followers to 100,000 followers in a day. Holy crap. So it especially when you posted, I think I went from like 7,000 followers to like 100,000 followers in like a day. Holy crap.

So it was like after you posted that. I remember we were on a ski trip, you were flying in, I was, we were skiing, left my phone at the house, came back and you had posted a picture of us together. And yeah, I had like over 100,000 followers. So it was a weird dynamic, but I'd had so many things, you know. Which we didn't post until we started talking

about getting married. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I didn't want to post about another relationship I was in, because I was just like, it's gotta be the one next time, you know what I mean? Because that was the thing with all that dating stuff, it was so public. So it was like, I don't know how Taylor Swift does it

with all the past relationships, because that's actually gotta be so hard. Everyone's always bringing up your ex-boyfriends because they're public information. And so I was just like, I don't wanna do that again publicly. It's gotta be the one. And so we had actually just had our first conversation,

all right, we really are gonna get married. And then we started posting because I didn't wanna just randomly post and be like, I'm engaged. And then I had no context to who he was because it wasn't like I was trying to hide him or you didn't want to just randomly post and be like, I'm engaged, and then have no context to who he was because it wasn't like I was trying to hide him or you didn't want, it was just that we needed to make sure together it was good.

Well that's the thing too, in hindsight that was cool, yes we're in a relationship and everybody kind of knows who you are and I'm just in a simple business class with 30 people. But no one knows who I am besides the, you know, the people in my class. But in hindsight, like if you would have posted then, you know, me going to classes, it would have been different because people know who I was, you know? Um, but yeah, I mean, there's, I've had moments of insecurity throughout, you know, our relationship,

but I've also had to realize like, you know, I can't put that on you, that's nothing that you've done to me, but even things like, I think for the first two years I was addressed in public two times by my actual name, like hey are you Christian? Every other time it's like hey, you saved his husband. Which didn't bother me, but there would be moments like being insecure and that, but I'm also like if I let that fester, that's just gonna be so unhealthy,

and you see that all the time with like resentment and those kind of things, but yeah, I mean those are just things that I knew early on, which was cool, because I'd had like seven, eight months to like build up things to kind of prepare for that, because I think early on if we had posted, then it was like kind of like an initial, like you know, didn't really have time to process

how my life could really change. It was crazy, like, as soon as we posted, we had all these magazine articles saying like, who is Christian Huff? And I remember, I think it was like People magazine, it was a big one that did this whole article about who is Christian Huff, and almost every fact was wrong.

It was like, oh yeah. I am not surprised. Doesn't that make- Everything was wrong. It was bad. Bro, does that not make you question our media though? It does, you cannot trust. Like when they just blatantly say false information

in People Magazine. I know. Like there's been so many articles that I've seen that just have blatantly incorrect information about us and not to say like we have a lot of articles, but like when I have, I've been like, gosh, okay, what can I actually trust about the media? No, seriously.

Doesn't it freak you out? It makes you realize that like, oh, that's actually not true. Like, this article is literally just made up because I think, I remember it was like, Christian Hough, he's like 19 from California, baseball player, actor, or something. It was something, I was like, nope, nope, man, no, actually.

Like, it was all wrong. None of that. And it wasn't like bad stuff, it was just not true. Yeah, but that was the cool thing, it was just being, like, because none of my, for like our whole relationship basically until we got engaged, I had been in like a relationship with somebody who's well known, but nobody knows it.

So it was a cool, like, it was just like dating. I think that made me trust him too. Yeah, dating that way, it just helped us so much. I think social media negatively affected so many of my relationships before Christian Which is why I was like I have to do this so differently like I got a reset I was like do I put my arm around Abby right now? I was like you know what?

I'm like okay Let's just hold hands Your indecisiveness is showing. Sometimes we get, bro It's the comments. We have to comments like, I love, that's so cute. How they like hold hands during the episode. And then I've seen other ones that are like, that is so weird that they're like holding hands during the episode.

This is an example of Matt just getting so in his head. And it makes you in your head. No, I get that because I saw that whole thing. Yeah, man, I totally get that. I actually, so I just read my audio book out loud this week and it's so funny because I didn't go two sentences without the person correcting me saying, actually in the dictionary it says, it's pronounced like this, the whole time, like literally for seven hours it was like

correction, correction, correction. For your own book that you read. For my own book, yes. Because I cannot pronounce words correctly when I read them out loud. That's dyslexia for you. It is bad. And I somehow was like, delusional covets, I can read my audiobook. It took me two days. It was hard. Alexia for you, it is bad. And I somehow was like, delusional covenants, I can read my audio book.

Took me two days. It was hard. But anyways, this whole week as I'm talking, I'm like, I didn't say that word right. Like that was wrong. Totally wrong. Dictionary says it a different way. And so I get it.

And I saw the end your head moment. I was like, that's me. That's me. So sorry I laughed about it. That was just funny. That was very relatable. That was very relatable. This episode of the Unplanned podcast

Social media had definitely negatively affected my dating relationships previously and definitely all those comments I guess did

Shape a little bit how my relationships were and I think we were feeding into the media feeding into the with people So I was like I can't do that. Like I'm what real I want honest Like I want an actual relationship because I actually do want to get married like have a family So I want to like get to know someone for them and then get to know me for me And so that was like the beauty of having all that time together you do want to get married and have a family. So I want to get to know someone for them and then get to know me for me. And so that was the beauty of having all that time together. We both needed that. We both needed to establish this is who we are

with who we know ourselves to be, who our friends know us to be, who our family. Everyone in our actual life feels good about it and now we'll share it. And that's something I found with social media. If I share from a place and needing something from it, you're always gonna have, it's always gonna be a toxic response, I feel like,

in yourself. But if you share from a place of overflow, like I don't need anything from it. I'm actually giving something to it. It's like such a freer way to go about social media. So it's like, I didn't need the affirmation from anyone following me that Christian was like the one for me.

Like I knew that was true. And now I can give y'all that information and y'all can be in this part of my life, but like I'm not seeking any validation from it. You know what I mean? Like I know that because that's what my family believes, that's what our friends believe, that's what we believe, and now we'll share it. And so I think like using social media in such a way where you're not getting but you're giving is just like a way

for your way to live because it's hard. I feel like that's so smart. It reminds me of if you decide on a baby name that you and your spouse love, you don't want to like go around asking people their opinion. You should just be like, hey, this is the one we like and that's the name because it creates this weird thing just like you were talking about with Christian where if you invite everybody's opinion into it, it can really confuse you, and then you start to second, you know, guess yourself. We really loved it before, but.

Oh yeah. I actually know somebody that did that. They were like, do you guys like this name? And their family was like, we don't like that name. Oh yeah. And so they changed the name. When we actually, so everyone was like so obsessed with trying to figure out what Honey's name was

before we had Honey. It was her first baby, everyone's searching me, and it was super excited. actually so everyone was like so obsessed with trying to figure out what honey's name was before we had honey was first baby everyone's social media super excited and someone found out because at the ultrasound place we went to it was like a local ultrasound place they put they were like putting all the baby's names that were upcoming and they knew the name and put it on the thing and some girl went in and posted on tikt then people knew about the name. But also another thing that was is my grandma accidentally posted this blanket in the background. So it was like two things at the same time. My grandma did this thing and it was like so I don't even know how someone saw it. It was like her fifth slide on my grandma's page but she does have a bump in her Instagram

account but still. And it had like a sewn in honey on it. And you would have had to like literally turn up the contrast to read it, but then everyone's like, honey, it's honey, it's honey. So people's comments, because honey's like a different name, it was crazy like the things people say. Most people loved it, but a lot of people felt

very strongly that it's not a name. And it's like so funny though, because now everyone's like obsessed with honey, and she's like the most honey baby ever and like now I see a lot of other people naming their baby honey. Yes, truthfully. Literally I knew that was a great name and it was a perfect name for her so that's very true to your point. My grandma did the same thing actually we just let her leave it up though because she does not have a bump in Instagram. That's so funny. People did not care that much but it was like congratulations Griffin like she has like weight in there. No way.

Posted all the stuff on Facebook. All the stats. On her Facebook page. Like the minute he was born. That's hilarious. We were like oh right. And actually your grandma posted Augie's name before he was even born. Like can't wait to meet August.

Yeah. And we were like tell your grandma to delete that one because it was like on our page. posted Auggie's name before he was even born. Like can't wait to meet August. And we were like, tell your grandma to delete that one. Cause it was like on our- It was a comment on my Instagram post. Oh my god, that's funny. We're like, it's not that big of a deal, but maybe we'll just wait until we're ready.

My grandma is like so embarrassed because she really does pride herself in like doing Instagram well. Like she did reels before I did. Like she was like, oh yeah, she's like so on trend. Her reels actually get, some of them have gone viral and gotten way more than me. She does so good on Instagram.

And so she was like, no I didn't. She was mortified that she posted the name. And I was like, no you really actually didn't. Someone just happened to see it, you know? But it's funny, because the baby name thing, I remember even telling a family member, I said, they said, what are you gonna name her? And I said, Honey James, and she went, seriously?

And I went, yeah, yeah, that's the name. And then she goes, wow, okay, and you can read it, and it makes you like, but if, I knew it, no, that's the name. But to the point, to wrap up that whole thing, it is true, you gotta know and be confident in it before you share with other people on social media, baby name, whatever it is. I think we had so long to establish what we knew was right. Then it was really fun to share and it wasn't a burden. It didn't

make me feel anxious. It didn't make me go back. It was like, no, this is so different. This is so good. It was fun. It was really exciting. I say all day, I love that people follow along our lives. I love that people follow along our lives. I love that people are involved with our relationship. That's why I said I didn't wanna hide him. It wasn't about that. It was just we needed to establish something first. Which I'm glad we did.

Me too. Christian, was the name your idea? No, it was not. The baby names are actually probably a crazier story than our dating story. A really cool story about our baby names actually. Yeah, when we were on our first date in Franklin, we were like eating acai bowls and we started walking. Have you all been to the factory?

Someone was just telling me that I need to go there. You need to go to the factory. This is like not a plug for everything in Franklin, but it just happened to be that we were at the factory. We were eating acai bowl, we were walking by a pottery place and like, oh, let's do pottery. That'd be fun. We had just like time to kill. So we were painting little mugs and on the mug, this was our first date, I painted a

blue mug and wrote honey on it. And I wrote honey because we had just been reading Proverbs together as we were getting to know each other, which might sound funny to some, but it was actually really good for our relationship. And in Proverbs 16 it says, Gracious words are like a honey a honeycomb, "'sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.'" And I was like, you have honey words. He was so kind, and I was like, it's so healing, it's so sweet.

And so we started talking about how honey is such a powerful thing, because it's like a dessert, it's sweet, but it also has the power to heal. Back in the day before medicine, you would put honey on a wound. And I was like, what a cool thought, how powerful

honey is. The Bible equates gracious words to the power of honey, sweet and strong. Anyways, when it came time to name, we were talking about baby names. I was like, oh honey is a cool name because it also reminded me of my great grandma because she calls everyone honey and that's her thing. That would be a sweet tribute to her because she's still alive and amazing. Your great grandma? Yeah she's 93 and she's like the most amazing woman in the world. Drives everywhere. She's legit. She does have Instagram too but her should be bummed. She's active on Instagram. She's amazing.

She says she's a spectator on Instagram not a poster. Have y'all ever, I just said y'all because I never say y'all but I just said it. Yes. Have you ever checked out the nutritional information on a bottle of honey? It's alarming. The sugar content, even though it's all natural, like sometimes I'm like making my coffee and putting some honey in there and I'm like oh shoot. I eat so much honey every day. We actually do also love honey. Like I drink, like I actually do drink it. He really does. Like with the bottle.

Legit bear, okay. I'm a huge honey fan. We named her Honey and we were like, oh that's so cute. We have this mug from our first date. So then fast forward to our second daughter and I was like praying, okay God, Honey was such a good name, it was so sweet and so unique. Like I want something intentional for our next kid and this was before I was even pregnant. I don't even know why I was really, pray, okay God, Honey was such a good name, it was so sweet and so unique, I want something intentional for our next kid,

and this was before I was even pregnant, I don't even know why I was really praying this, but I was like, God, what should we name our next kid? And it was so crazy because I've never thought of this name, I have a name, a baby name, that all girls probably do since high school, and I've never thought of the name Haven. But on the plane, I was praying about it,

and I literally just felt in my spirit like Haven Bell, I just randomly thought of the name Haven. But on the plane I was praying about it and I literally just felt in my spirit like Haven Bell. Like I just like randomly thought of this name. And I was like, that is so beautiful because Haven's like a safe place and Bell means beautiful, like this beautiful safe place. And I was like, Christian, I was just praying about this and I don't know, this random like name came in my head. If we have another daughter,

like I think we should name her Haven. I think it's so beautiful. Two months later we found out we're pregnant. Then we found out we're having a girl and I was like, Haven Bell, for sure, that's it. Choose a name. Fast forward to like a couple months later, and that trend was going on on Instagram, post a picture of when you met, your first date,

when you got engaged, you got married. So I posted my pictures, don't even notice it, and one of my friends who knew we were naming our girl Haven swiped up and said, not it saying Haven right behind you and the picture from y'all's first date. And I literally didn't even know that until that day. I went back and looked and Kristen and I only have two pictures from our first date and the first one

is us holding our mugs that says Honey and the second one is under a giant banner that says Haven. Isn't that the crazy thing? Only two pictures we have. Only two pictures from our first date. Both names were never on my baby name list never thought about those names never even noticed that we were standing under a banner that said Haven because it was just a store we just took a picture in downtown Franklin and it happened to be under Haven I was like okay you talk about God knowing you

before the foundation of the world began forming you knitting you together in your mother's womb like God had honey and haven in our story written into the fabric of our story from our first date and like the coolest thing that we didn't even know and then we got to later just be like okay that's cool you know and like it's like that's why I just make you go like what the world like God good so for maybe number two you're just gonna have to study those pictures it's actually kind of funny because we went to Luke Bryan's concert and there's lyrics on it says Luke and everyone's like oh if it's a boy you have to name him we go I think it stops here as far as naming go the

day honey and haven where the only pictures will get from. We didn't try to do it. Like we literally didn't try to do it. I think you're on to something though like if you're ever stuck on like what should we name our kid like go to your old pictures together on your first date. Yeah, go to your first date. Where's this like is there a street sign? Okay like Trago Creek that's where I should like I'll name my kid that. Hey that's my creekable one. Like on the way here, there was a road and it was called, or it was like, get off the exit, June Lake. I was like, that's so cute, June Lake.

Hey, your name's everywhere, written everywhere. Do you want to ask a question? I feel like I've been dodging this conversation. Yeah, I know, I think you're good at it, honestly. No, I think you're really good. I think you're a brilliant speaker. I don't know, why do I talk so much? You're the one who's actually good at talking.

So you guys, how old are your kids now? You have three? We have a three year old and a one year old, both in May. So they both just came three and one. Full of birthday parties. Now I've decided I think from here on out they might just share a birthday party and we're gonna have to share a birthday dinner

because they're May 11th and May 22nd and we're June 9th and June 11th. So our birthdays are all in one month. So this month was like, that month was nuts. It was like whoa, but it was so fun. They're at such fun stages. The things that Honey is starting to say and do is just the most beautiful, sweetest thing

to see her little imagination run wild. And then Haven is like the silliest baby. I mean her face tells the story. Her face is talking before she is. She's so expressive and just so fun. Like it's a sweet season of life. And we're super close to y'all's kids. Y'all's kids are super close to our kids too.

I know, two boys, two girls. Hey, is it fate? That would be. They're gonna get married. They should have met. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we do need to let them meet cause they're so fun.

But that's so, so three and one. I was trying to figure out what I was trying to say there. No, you're good. I, I, what I wanted to say though was Abby and I today, we were talking about like, what should we, which chat, I can't talk, it was like, what should we talk about with Christian and Sadie? And I remembered seeing you guys post about a pretty, Oh yeah. A pretty traumatic birth experience that you went through with your first and transparently like when Abby and I got pregnant we didn't really know what to expect but at the time it was like somewhere around there that- We were pregnant with Griffin when you posted your birth story.

Yes. And I watched it and I was like, wow, that is so scary but I hope that doesn't happen to me. Yeah. And that happened to me. No way Same birth experience is basically with our first and second because I had a scheduled c-section with my second That's crazy And we were like talking about the day and honestly I like went back and looked at your videos

I was like, was it the same thing and I was like honestly getting anxious hearing it because I was like I don't Personally, like I don't look back at my birth as traumatic or anything, but now maybe I do, because whenever I see someone post their birth thing, I scroll right away, I'm like, no, no, no. Or even our own, I'm like, please do not play that around me, I don't wanna know. And so, yeah, but I watched it, I was like,

it was too a tee, the same thing, they pushed Matt out of the way, and it was like, scary emergency, like they pushed Matt out of the way and it was like scary emergency situation and then yeah. It's crazy because it really is so rare that that I think that happens in like 0.1% of births like it's so rare so that is really crazy. Yeah the shoulder dystocia thingy. For anybody that doesn't know what we're yeah and you guys too I mean oh my gosh I wouldn't wish that on anybody but for anybody that's confused about what we're talking about it's

basically shoulder dystocia happens in like 1% of births and it's where the baby gets caught and the birth canal on their way out like the shoulder shoulder the shoulder stuck and they can't breathe and so you know they have to push people out of the way and essentially like nurses and people run in to start pushing on the mother's belly and trying to get the baby out that way they don't go too long without oxygen and yeah I mean even Abby was playing the video back as like I'm pretty sure they had the same exact thing that we did and

Even just to I felt I was like Abby Are you sure you are you okay talking about this because Abby was like getting pretty stressed like just hearing you talk about it Because it's not yeah, not a fun experience No, it's definitely not and I always say this and I'm so sorry that you feel so anxious because I always tell people like when sharing like your birth story I would never want people to feel anxious and to be afraid to go into labor because I feel like we were talking about this it's so interesting like when you prepare for something like for instance labor labor such a crazy thing because to y'all labor probably is like the scariest thing in the world think about having to go through labor because

you're like can't even imagine it you know like it's like no that's so scary so like anyone you're like thinking labor is crazy but like to the person who is least scared of labor is kind of ironic because it's typically the person who's about 41 weeks pregnant right Right. Because you're so ready. You're like, I want that right now. Yes. And I remember like being 41 weeks pregnant with Honey and not being scared of labor at all.

Being like, I would do anything to go into labor. I was bouncing the ball. I was crawling around all fours. I was doing everything to be like, please God help me go into labor.

I feel like you're gonna be scared of something that you're not prepared for, right? And so, yes, it would sound so scary to hear a story on like short or socio when you've never been through it or when like, and that's so unknown and it literally happens in 1% of births.

So I'm like I don't want it to cause fear for people but I do want to tell the story because you know this is something that happened and but also like look at the positive side of it for a long time I could not talk about it like I could not talk about the story I would shake I would get so afraid and actually I couldn't even listen to the song that was playing which is really sad because the song Million Little Miracles was actually playing when Honey was born but during that time like she wasn't breathing the all the you know beeps in the hospital are scary when they're not beeping the way they're supposed to and all the crazy stuff is like happening and they think her shoulder's broken she's not getting oxygen

like it was terrifying so I couldn't even listen to the song. And now I look back and I'm like, wow, like the song, Million Little Miracles is playing, like it was a miracle, like she's a miracle, and I think that's beautiful. But for a long time I was like, I can't even listen to it. I don't even wanna talk about it. And I would shake, like when people would ask me.

And I would like try to tell the story, but I would be like so traumatized. And I remember I had the best piece of advice. Do y'all know Dr. Aiman? We interviewed him. You did? Okay, he helps me a lot. He's helped me so much.

And he actually started helping me back when we actually got married, because I had a lot of anxiety from different things I had walked through back to the negative sides of fame. But he started helping me a long time ago. Well, after I had honey, a lot of that anxiety sparked back up,

like really severe. I didn't know like postpartum anxiety, like what that was, until I was like literally fetal positioned in the closet, like so terrified of everything and shaking and whatnot. And he told me, he said, Sadie, like she got stuck for two minutes and 11 seconds, and you're stuck in the two minutes and 11 seconds, but she got out and she was okay and she started breathing

and she is a healthy baby and he was like, don't get stuck in the two minutes and 11 seconds. He said, actually just skip over that part. Just tell the good part. Tell about the miracle story. Tell about the song playing. Tell about how her shoulder wasn't broken and she was able to breathe and that she is good.

And I think for so long when people ask to tell the story, I'm only thinking about the hard part and not thinking about what's come, the good part at the end of it. And it was such good advice. And so now I really want people to know there's a good side of the story. She's a three-year-old girl that's running around today

and on a dress playing on it, also having a blast and a great time and yes that happened but don't get mentally stuck in that zone and so yes he first told me don't tell the story for a while and so I didn't tell the story for a while. People would ask me and I'd be like oh no I can't tell that story right now so I get it. If people ask you to tell the story and you don like, you don't want to. I think you have to like just not. I don't, I've never looked at it as like scary honestly,

cause I feel like I just like separated in that time. I was just like, oh, the baby's here. And like I like, I was able to like jump over it. It wasn't until later when I had talked to my doctor about having the next baby, I was like, well, we're doing that whole thing again. And she's like, no, no, no, no, no. Like we need to talk about this.

Like for the future, you probably want to think about C-section like yeah that wasn't normal that was that was scary well then I was scared that's actually what happened so my mom always says she's like I think what happened to you why why it traumatized you because I didn't know either even though it was so bad like looking back I'm like okay but I never given birth before so I know that was again like you don't know like you're prepared for something you don't know. You don't know what you don't know. So I was just like, okay, that was really hard and you know labor is hard.

So you're like, I was crazy. Wow. I wasn't thinking it was going to be easy. Me either. So I was just like, okay, wow. And then the nurse came in and was like, she was so scared. And she was like, they were coming off of how scared they all were, which I didn't know they were all scared to that to that degree, you know?

I just thought that was crazy. And the nurse said like, no, that's the scariest thing that could have happened. And she said those words. Oh gosh, that would have freaked me. And then I was like, wait, what? And then they were like, we're going to have a couple more pediatricians come check her and make sure she's really okay. And then I was like, hold on, wait, what's happening?

Then when I realized like what happened, then I was like, hold on, wait, what's happening? Then when I realized what happened, then I was so scared. So for a whole 24 hours, I was actually fine about it. And then when I heard from them, I was like, oh no, not fine, now I'm freaked out, you know? So yeah, actually very same thing. And then it was like, okay, you're not gonna be able to do that again.

And the C-section, all the talks, and you're like, what? I didn't know any of that. Everyone was so calm that all the nurses were c-section, like all the talks and you're like what? I didn't know any of that. Like everyone was so calm that like all the nurses were like yeah we're gonna check him. I think he, they broke his clavicle and it was broken but they're like he's fine, like his bones are like rubber right now and they were like all very calm

and my doctor was like so calm too. She didn't really say anything until like, I was like third trimester with Augie, she's like so when are we gonna schedule, like when are we gonna have a conversation and I was like. And anything until like, I was like third trimester with Auggie. She's like, so when are we going to schedule, like, when are we going to have a conversation? And I was like, and you're like, what? Yeah, that happened to be weird or different. Like, was that? She's like, that was serious. That was an emergency situation.

I was like, oh, OK. And of course, it was the one appointment that I wasn't at. So Abby was just really freaked out. She was like, she's telling me I have to have a C-section. And you were yeah, you were really worried. but I'm just thinking they're like, okay well I'm not a doctor but... I was disappointed. I was like, yeah it's disappointing when you have a plan and it doesn't go the route but like I feel like for the second time I was just like, okay I'm not gonna like try to make a plan because the first time I had all these plans in the

world and none of it happened because obviously you can't plan for that and then craziness happened. So then the second time I didn't know that I was going to have a C-section so I guess I was kind of like okay whatever they say I'm just going to be like whatever they say I'm just going to go with it but I can't imagine like not knowing that and then the doctor being like hey you're going to have that without any like mental prep because that's hard. I rallied, it was okay. Man, what was your experience when all this went down? So, I'm with Sadie, I did not know the severity of anything. The thing that honestly freaked me out the most, which I don't know if I'm

allowed to say this but I'm going to, I did not know that a conehead was a thing. I was like freaking out. Wait, Matt told them to put a helmet on our baby. No, I didn't. I was like, we really need a helmet. Well, I'm sorry, this happened, and then they're all kind of scrambling, and I'm like, have y'all seen her? Have you seen the head?

Have you seen that? Well, I literally saw her, and then I just saw like Jimmy Neutron. I was like, what? I was like, I don't know what this is. Obviously, it's my child child and she's beautiful. But I was like, no one prepared me for that. I was like, why are y'all checking her shoulder?

I was like, something is wrong with her head. And yeah, then they were explaining to me the cone head. And I didn't know any of that. I was so out of it and they brought her to me. I didn't even know what happened. They brought her, she had a hat on. They have her on the thing, they're checking for John, then they turn her around, she's screaming and I was like, what?

I had no like reference point for what I eat. Bro, isn't it like a traffic cone? Like I think that's the best way to describe it. It literally looks like that, especially with shoulder distortion because they're there for so long that, yeah, being stuck in the birth canal, it like forms their head into a literal cone. For anybody that like doesn't understand what I'm saying.

Like Phineas from Phineas and Tore. No, that's sharp. That should not have anything to do with that. But it does maybe make it a little bit more prominent because it's stuck long enough there so it forms it a little bit more cone-like. And their body, their head's so flexible, malleable, whatever, at that point.

That is, you actually did your second come out a little bit more like, oh yeah. Well, C-section, they don't have the cone head. Yeah, the C-section babies come out pretty. Oh my gosh, she's so pretty, like her head is so round. Yeah, I can make her head look so round. You asked my experience, that was the thing. When I saw Honey with the way that her head looked

I was like I I was just I was just kind of confused I have to say to you like that was one of those things like you think it's good like it's expectation versus reality Maybe like Instagram versus reality is what we should say because you see all these people like the first time meeting their baby And it's like the most magical moment and that was not our experience because it was so crazy and so then I put her on magical moment and that was not our experience because it was so crazy. And so then they put her on me and I was just like, what? Like I was just like, I was in a daze.

Like I could not and I remember Chris Shane saying like, it's honey and that was like snapped. Like I was like, oh my gosh, like this is my baby. She's here, she's okay. This is honey, like whew. But it wasn't like a, oh my gosh. I was like, okay. Like my body was just like what and I could not stop shaking like I had the crazy shake So that's a thing too. Like you don't know what you don't know

Whoa, but then yeah, kind of what you said we rallied and it was okay and it was great and she's amazing But whoo, that was crazy. Yeah as a spectator like for both I feel like Matt was like I like C-section because it was just so calm, which like they're playing music and we were just chilling. Yeah, it's so crazy how different that was. Well, I felt horrible for Abby because like as a husband,

you can't push the baby out for them. Like if you're ever in a situation where your wife needs help, there's usually something that you can do. Like as a man, I want to fix things and help the situation. But other than just like saying words of encouragement and, you know, rubbing Abby's back, playing with her hair, like there wasn't anything I could actually do to take over and like birth the baby for her. I didn't look at it as like crazy though. I was like, let's do it again. So like seeing her, seeing her in so much pain, I was like,

there's literally nothing I can do right now to take this burden from her, which sucked, you know? Yeah. Because I don't know, it's rare in life that there's... Yeah, like even if... You can't do anything. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny because I like to be really prepared for things,

so I was like sending him all these stuff that he should prepare for and I was like, here's what it says, like the spouse should do. And it was so funny, because it was like, look her in the eye, affirm her, tell her the plan, all this stuff. And like Christian, same thing with him reading the dating book and doing exactly what it says. He would like look me in the eye,

and he was like, the plan is, you're gonna have a baby. You are amazing. You are like, he's doing it. It was in like a funny tone. And I remember, he was like, you are so beautiful. You are, I was crying. You were built for this it, yeah, and I remember. He was like, you are Sadie Robertson. He was like, you are Sadie Robertson. You are. You are so beautiful.

You are built for this. In my mind, I thought that was so funny, and I was telling someone the story later. I was like, oh, it was cracking me up. He was like, you are Sadie Robertson, you can do this. Like, all this stuff. Like, well, it was funny. You were like encouraging me, like,

saying all the things that I told you to say. This is the plan. And I was saying that I was cracking up. My mom was like, you were not laughing. I was like, really? I thought I was. She was she's like no you were literally in labor, but in my mind I thought it was really funny You say you didn't it wasn't helpful Matt it was so helpful because I remember just I was not listening to literally anything Anyone else in the room was saying but you I was like you just you

saying but you I was like you just you just like a football coach and I wasn't responding I know I wasn't responding because I was like literally checked out I was going to another planet in my mind but I could just hear your voice and other people told Matt cuz they like watch our video they're like did you not think that was so annoying like he wouldn't stop talking I was like no he was keeping me in reality like he like I was just like walked in on that and I like loved it me too that was so helpful that's what I remember like if you were to leave I would have been like no, no, no, I'm done. I can't do this. You said because I just kept telling Abby you were so strong. You were so brave and I just said that over and over again

Did you repeat the words to say? For like an hour? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was a long time. Yeah, that's crazy. How similar of experience It was a long time for sure. Yeah, that's crazy how similar of experience we have with how weird that is. I know. I have a friend, actually the same way, they broke her shoulder and she's amazing. One of my great friends, worship leader, you know, hey, you go on from it, but it's a crazy experience. But also the thing too now is like, looking at Honey and Haven, like Honey looks like

the one that would get her shoulder stuck. Like she's just like, she's just a little unit. Like she's, she's, she's strong. But she's also tiny. She's like 25th percentile. She was a big baby. But she was big baby. Oh yeah, she was big.

Was he big? Not really. Not really. He was like eight, four. Yeah, honey was nine, five. Well, thank you guys for coming on the show and like just sharing your life with us.
