Speaking with PEOPLE, Maddie clarified that her two sons are biologically related. “My husband and I are Mom and Dad to them both. My sons are technically maternal half-brothers. But we would never say ‘half,’ " she adds.

“People comment on how our family looks often, especially with our presence on social media. Our comment sections are often filled with lots of questions but also many people who come from families that look just like ours. We think representation is so important.”

Noting that they spend lots of time together as a family, the proud mom says that despite their age difference, her two sons are very close.

“The boys love to shoot hoops together and watch movies. Cal cheers Jaden on at his sports games and meets. We also travel a lot as a family, so they go on lots of adventures.”
