In a recent interview with Extra, Nicole said that she was “so excited” for her sister to become a mom.

Then, speaking with PEOPLE recently, the actress recalled her own experiences raising kids and how she brought them on tour with husband Madden, 45, while we was traveling across the globe with Good Charlotte. (The pair are parents to daughter Harlow, 16, and son Sparrow, 14.)

“When my kids were born, my husband was on tour, so they grew up on a tour bus,” Nicole said. “I was setting up a pack-and-play on the floor of the tour bus."

She added, "We turned one of the bunks into cribs, and that’s how they spent a good portion of their childhood, which I think is fun.”
