After being married for over a decade, Fields is still in love with her husband and believes God wrote their story.

“It can’t be luck. Luck isn’t this perfect. Luck doesn’t know exactly what I need,” she said. “This was God. You were sent. And I am grateful.”

In 2008, the actress revealed that she was expecting her first child, a year after her older sister, Kim Fields, gave birth to a son, Sebastian Alexander.

At age 29, “The Secret World of Alex Mack” star gave birth to a beautiful daughter named Kaycie, followed by a son named Kaden.

The two kids sometimes appear on their mom’s social media account as they bond through videos and different activities.

In one post, Fields shared a photo of Kaden hanging by a bar during their “quality time at the playground.” Initially, the actress wasn’t up for the outdoor fun, but eventually went after her husband encouraged her and liked it.
