During an appearance on The Squeeze podcast with Taylor Lautner, Mikayla spoke in depth about her relationship with Jace and how the two initially met.
Mikayla moved out of her mother’s house aged 15 and met Jace through her sister and his roommate, as the pair worked together.
She recalled: “I think I got pregnant literally a year, almost a year exactly after I moved out of my house at 15.
“And then I’m jumping into now being a mom and raising a kid at 16, 17. I think all that was traumatizing, but also it was so helpful being with someone like Jace because, again, he’s been like so patient with me and he like truly wants me to be the best version of myself.”

Mikayla explained she’d “only known him for like a month before” she got pregnant, and dropped out of high school as a result.
She added: “I didn’t really tell any of my friends. I kind of just dropped off the face of the earth.”
As for how she found out she was even pregnant in the first place, she explained that she had been in the sauna and passed out, leading to her mum taking her to hospital with a blood test showing she was in the early stages of pregnancy.
