Nick, who previously opened up about the couple’s bundles of joy, couldn’t help put rave about his “beautiful” grandbabies once again. "I'm supposed to be a reporter, therefore observant, but I really don't know how to describe one beautiful baby from another beautiful baby," the proud grandfather said. "These are two beautiful babies." He added, “They are perfect.”
