Pure Bliss
For example, in March, Tyler shared that they got Nova a pony and made her “dream come true.” “Watching her face light up with pure bliss was so humbling as a father,” he wrote on Instagram. “But also made me feel so proud of raising such a loving, caring and free-spirited little girl that I am blessed to love and cherish. She felt extra special today and I live for moments like this as a Dad!”

Separated
But the truth is, things aren’t always so blissful in Tyler and Catelynn’s household. They went through a trial separation in 2018, and it was really rough on both of them.
