Colletti on Fatherhood
In an interview with People last month, Colletti expressed his readiness for the changes fatherhood would bring: "It sounds crazy, but I'm ready for my life to be put upside down in that way. I've been watching my wife take on pregnancy and she's been such a superhero, such a bada**."
The California native feels "fortunate" about this "next chapter" with his wife, who is from North Carolina. "We're going to be experiencing it together. And I know we're going to have a lot, a lot to learn," he added.
