In anOctober 2023 TikTokin honor of National Coming Out day, Sullivan included a couple pictures of himself as a teenager with an infant Arlo, writing, “Although I loved being a parent, I wasn’t happy within myself.

Sullivan proposed to Farago on April 28, 2023, with a candle-lit orchestra surrounding them as he got down on one knee. The couple have since opened up about their wedding planning and how they plan to go all out.

“We were debating for a while about if we wanted to go big or not,” Farago told PEOPLE. “We decided we only do this once and to just go huge!”

As of August 2023, the two were deciding between Italy or Catalina Island, California, which is closer for both of their families.

Though the date was originally set for May 2024, Farago and Sullivan updated PEOPLE in April 2024 that they were now looking to get married after they had their children.

“We’re going to do wedding after babiesbecause we were thinking how cute would it be to have two little newborns at the wedding or like two little toddlers,” Farago said. “That would be so cute to like include them.”

Sullivan added that they will “probably do a courthouse wedding first while she’s pregnant and then do an actual wedding a little later.”

They explained that after a “really hard” time planning their wedding, they decided to start their journey together with kids.

“We were wedding planning, and then one day, wedding planning was really hard, and we were just kind of discouraged,” Farago said. “And then we looked at each other, and we were like, ‘Should we just do babies first?’ And then we just decided there and then, and we just went right into IVF.”

The couple were open about their experience with IVF from egg retrieval to embryo transfer on their TikTok pages, filming videos of the process and the difficulties they encountered. In August 2023, they hosted aQ&A on TikTokaddressing questions people had about the experience, sharing that Sullivan had his eggs extracted first and frozen.

They added that the first pregnancy would use Farago’s embryos while the second would use Sullivan’s embryos unless they chose to have twins.

“I was just doing the process of getting my eggs and turning them into embryos so that we had them. [Francesca is] carrying all the babies,” Sullivan explained. “If we have 10 babies, they’re all going to her.”

The couple also chose to keep the identity of their sperm donor private until their kids were born, though they said they did know who he was.
