“I have a great vasectomy doctor, just so you know,” Shepard, 46, told Biel, 39, on his “Armchair Expert” podcast on Monday, June 13. “Dr. Josephson. He handles it with care and compassion. I was on a trampoline three days later, so if you want —”

I don’t even know to be away from this person.”

She acknowledged that the pandemic, which kept her working from home, made balancing her career and motherhood a little easier.

“Because of COVID specifically, I have not spent any time away from this little guy,” she explained. “If the world had been normal, I would’ve spent some time away and maybe even worked before this point.”

In April, the 7th Heaven alum opened up about how much more work it is to raise two children compared to one.

“A very wise friend of mine said, ‘One is a lot. And two is a thousand,’” the Minnesota native said during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “That’s exactly the way it feels. You’re like, man-on-man defense, one person’s here, one person’s over there.”
