Chilli’s New Boyfriend, Actor Matthew Lawrence, Didn’t Mean To ‘Pressure’ The Singer After Previously Revealing They Plan To Start A Family: ‘That’s Way In The Future’

Looks like TLC member Chilli will not be expanding her family anytime soon after all.

Following the singer’s new boyfriend Matthew Lawrence sharing with the world their desire to have children, the “Boy Meets World” alum recently clarified he didn’t necessarily mean right at this moment.

Fans of both Rozanda ‘Chilli‘ Thomas, 52, and Matthew Lawrence, 43, have seemingly been loving the pair’s new romance. Despite this, some reportedly have shared their concerns that things may be moving a little fast after the TV star opened up about wanting children with the songstress. During a recent interview, however, Matthew Lawrence further explained how the conversation came about. While discussing childhood plans made with his brother Joey Lawrence to have children together, the actor stated:

“Joe and I were commiserating about this plan that we had to have children together … when we were growing up…And I missed the first go around and now he’s starting a new family and I was thinking, ‘Man, it’d be great if we could do it again, when I didn’t have the chance to raise a family together.’ “

He added:

“So that’s what I meant by that. I didn’t mean to put any pressure on somebody I was dating or anything,”

To the public, it may have been a bit of a shock to hear the new couple is already thinking about procreating. Chilli and Lawrence just confirmed their relationship back in January of this year. However, the entertainers originally sparked dating rumors as far back as August of last year after they were spotted vacationing together in Hawaii.

Additionally, the 90s TV star is fresh out of a marriage. Reportedly, Lawrence and the “Creep” singer’s relationship went public just three months after his divorce from Cheryl Burke was finalized. It’s reported the fellow entertainers split in January of last year after three years of marriage.

Despite the newness of their relationship, however, Lawrence seems totally smitten with Chilli. He continued gushing about the Grammy Award-winning singer in the interview and stated:

“She’s already a mother, she has an incredible son. I respect so much as to how she’s raised him…She’d be an incredible mother again and I’d be incredibly lucky but that’s way in the future.”
