The Business of Motherhood

The journalist has three children with the former Dallas Cowboys QB; Hawkins Crawford Romo, born in 2012; Rivers Crawford Romo in 2014; and Jones McCoy Romo in 2017. The couple shared their parenting views with "The Dallas Morning News." Tony on their unique boys:

"The one thing that having children has taught me is that you can really have the exact same environment, and they can be two very different kids. And it's great though. I think they're both just… they love different things… they have different personalities."

The couple enjoys spending time with their children. Rivers showed an aptitude for sports "from the womb," according to his mom, who calls him a miniature Tony. Hawkins is a puzzle and Lego enthusiast.

Candice reconnected with her school golf buddy Hollie Siglin over their sons' shared due dates. They created an essential oil company, Hawk + Sloan, named after their kids, that boldy aims to "conquer parenthood… one spray at a time."
