Nathan told The Sun: "I would love to have another kid, one that I would be around 24/7.

"That was supposed to be the plan with my first child and that was supposed to be the plan with my second child.

"I will be with them day and night, all year round until he is 18, if not longer." 

The Teen Mom 2 alum has two children: son Kaiser, 7, with his former fiancee Jenelle Evans and his daughter, Emery, from a previous relationship.

He has visitation with both children.

While the reality star wants more kids, he's not in a rush. 

"I want to be a homeowner first and have a secure job," he said adding that he would also like May, 38, to be able to start her own company.

Nathan said that while he and May are extremely happy together, it took his son Kaiser some time to really come around to his new partner.

"Kaiser is really protective over me, so at first it was a little rocky.

"He has opened up to a couple of women now in his life. and he got really close with my ex.

"That made him on the defensive with me."  

The MTV star added that at first Kaiser would hold on to his dad and not engage with May, but he is now coming around.  

"He's finally opening up to May, and he hasn't been asking me for everything and now asks her for everything which is really cool to see.

"I think he was just being guarded." 

SURPRISE WEDDING  

The MTV star previously told The Sun that he and May wanted to get married for a while, but finally tied the knot in an intimate, private ceremony on April 30 of this year.  

"We've wanted to get married but we dealt with bumps in the road along the way.

"We finally got married on the rooftop of a hotel in April and we had somebody who could notarize the wedding ceremony with us. 

"We exchanged vows and then we took pictures together over the city."

The affair was casual, Nathan explained, with May wearing a white summer dress, while he sported a white shirt and black shorts.

"We looked good together," he added.   

"We are having a second wedding in Argentina for her family. It's going to be sometime this summer most likely."

Nathan said there are a few different venues they are considering, but the larger fete will be the first time he would be meeting all of May's family.   

The MTV star said he wasn't expecting to get into a relationship, but everything changed when they finally met in person.  

"I was just wanting to be casual. I was out of a long relationship and I really wasn't looking for anybody, but as soon as I met up with her, I knew she was the one.  

"She made me feel good about myself and when I was going through a lot of problems, she was like my counselor. I can talk to her and she helps me work through stuff."  

Nathan said that he finds May incredibly smart and calls the trucking logistics coordinator an extremely hard worker.  

He also added; "She is absolutely gorgeous, too."  

They met on Instagram some time ago, but Nathan said he was in and out of relationships so the timing wasn't right until they met up in Miami in April 2021 for the first time. 

It was important to them to make their relationship official, Nathan added. 

"A priority right now is having an equally mutual understandable relationship. For us to get to the point where we are now married, we've had a lot of rough stuff in our lives and a lot of that rough stuff had to do with me," he confessed.

"Things were getting serious and I wanted to run away. Most of the trust issues have been my fault, and we've had a rough time because of me making mistakes, but we finally got to the point where realized we are secure enough in our relationship to get married.   

"That's commitment, we can't just break up and get back together. We've broken up and gotten back together several times and we've finally reached an understanding where we're secure with our relationship and we trust each other where we decided let's just go ahead and tie the knot because then both of us can't back out of it."
