JLS spoke to Heart Radio host Amanda today and she wanted to know how they would fit in their 15-date UK tour around their young families.
The presenter asked: "Yeah how’s that going to work because there’s loads of babies around?"
Marvin Humes, who shares three kids with his wife Rochelle, replied for the group and said: "Listen, we go on tour to take a break."
"You know this is live?" shocked Amanda spluttered.

Marvin, 37, continued: "When we did it two years ago, JB your kids came along, obviously all the kids are there at some point.";
JB, who has two kids with wife Chloe, agreed and said: "It was over half term wasn’t it. They did jump on for about five days which is obviously as you can imagine, such an incredible experience for them.
"It was their first concert and they loved it, they obviously know the boys, have grown up with the boys and all our families as well so it’s nice to be able to share that experience with them."
The popular boyband found fame on The X Factor 15 years ago, and will perform their hits in arenas around the UK later this year.

Tickets go on sale next Friday, March 3, at 9am.
The band released their first album in nine years in 2021 when they dropped 2.0, but this time they are focusing on performing their biggest tunes.
Oritsé explained: “We just want to get out there and play the hits.
"It’s those nostalgic songs which remind people of all their experiences growing up.
"And now some of those fans have children and they want their children to experience what they experienced growing up in the JLS era.”
Marvin added: “We’re not ruling out new music, we just haven’t had the chance to get into the studio yet.
"If we manage to get some tracks done this year then it will be a big bonus.”
