Nick Viall and Natalie Joy got real about their struggles finding time in the bedroom as new parents.

On his podcast, The Viall Files, Nick, 43, described the challenges they have faced getting intimate as new parents. 

'You have this little baby and it's an angel and she's like obviously always by our side. Part of that, we had Natalie's mom. The best we could have done would've been like "Here,"' he said, gesturing as though he was handing his child to her mother.

'"We're gonna go into the bedroom." That feels odd! We haven't got that comfortable with her mom yet,' he added.
