<h3 style="text-align: center;">Chilli Says Matthew Lawrence&#8217;s Comment About Them &#8216;Trying&#8217; To Have Kids Was Edited</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/03/17/chilli-reacts-to-matthew-lawrences-comment-that-they-are-trying-to-have-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a>, Chilli appeared on the “Ryan Cameron Uncensored” radio show on Friday, March 17. During the appearance, the 52-year-old clarified comments made by Matthew Lawrence during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.</p>
<p>During Lawrence&#8217;s interview, he seemed to explain that he and Chilli were actively trying to have children together, as previously reported by <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/matthew-lawrence-chilli-are-trying-to-have-a-child-together/?_gl=1*w85ceo*_up*MQ..*_ga*MTc3MTAwNzQ3Mi4xNjc5MzE0OTUy*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY3OTMxNDk1MS4xLjEuMTY3OTMxNDk1Ny4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Shade Room</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;That’s the game plan. That’s what we’re trying to do.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>However, Chilli explained that Lawrence&#8217;s comments were incorrectly portrayed and he was actually referring to his older brother Joey&#8217;s plans.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They didn’t show that part but when you go on there and you see the whole interview, then you see he was not talking about us working on having a baby… because that’s not what’s happening.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Chilli is already a mother to one son, 25-year-old Tron Austin. However, her boyfriend Matthew Lawrence does not have any children of his own.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Chilli Says She Plans To Be Married Before Having A Child With Matthew Lawrence</h3>
<p>Despite the confusion, the singer explained that she is not quite done with having children.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I would never say that [I’m done with families].&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>But added that she needs to be married first.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I gotta be married for sure… and I’m not married, <em>yet</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Matthew Lawrence Also Clarified His Statement</h3>
<p>Lawrence also took the time to clarify his statements during a follow-up interview with <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1368100/matthew-lawrence-clarifies-his-comments-about-starting-a-family-with-tlcs-chilli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">E!</a>. He explained that his brother Joey is currently expanding his family, and it would be &#8220;great&#8221; if they had the chance to &#8220;raise a family together.&#8217;”</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;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, &#8216;Man, it’d be great if we could do it again when I didn’t have the chance to raise a family together.'&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Additionally, the actor explained that his intention was never to put any &#8220;pressure&#8221; on his girlfriend Chilli.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;So that’s what I meant by that. I didn’t mean to put any pressure on somebody I was dating or anything.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Lawrence went on to confirm Chilli&#8217;s most recent sentiments, explaining that the couple&#8217;s plans to have children are &#8220;way in the future.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;She’s an amazing person. 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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
