We didn't want to make a lot of people travel, and we wanted to pay for it ourselves, so we decided, 'Let's just keep it small'... It would have been 12, but Eamon passed away.
The couple quietly divorced in 2023 after nearly seven years of marriage, and neither has ever publicly discussed the reasons for the split. Erin and Nick Perrine did not have any known children together.
