Nev Schulman, the host of Catfish: The TV Show, and his wife, Laura Perlongo, are relishing their time with their three children—Cleo, Beau, and Cy.
The couple welcomed their first child, Cleo, in October 2016, just months before their wedding in July 2017. They later had their son Beau in January 2019, followed by Cy in September 2021. Laura Perlongo recently revealed on Instagram that she experienced a miscarriage in 2023.
Nev shared how parenting has transformed his outlook, noting, “They really teach you to be open to the humor in everyday situations," he told Morning Honey. As his family grew, he learned to appreciate the joy and silliness that children bring into daily life. “They are so goofy and funny and silly, and it just gives you an excuse to be silly, and that is fun, so I love that."
Reflecting on his journey of fatherhood, Nev expressed, “Becoming a father has unlocked an entirely new part of who I am and challenged me to continue to become the man I aspire to be." He acknowledged the difficulties, yet emphasized the profound rewards parenting brings.

The couple made headlines in May 2016 when they announced their pregnancy just weeks before revealing their engagement. Laura humorously shared on Instagram that she could feel “a heartbeat” after enjoying a large sandwich.
In a previous Instagram post, Nev expressed his excitement at becoming a father, saying, "IT’S A GIRL! No words can capture the excitement and joy I feel about becoming a father." Cleo later served as a flower girl at their wedding just a week after her parents tied the knot.
At the age of two, Cleo demonstrated a keen interest in art, leading her parents to create an Instagram account showcasing her creations. Following that, she fell in love with dancing, particularly after Nev participated in Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars in 2020. Nev noted, “[She] loves telling people I was on it and asking when I’m going to be on it again.” Cleo has even appeared on an episode of Catfish alongside her father.

The names "Beau" and "Bobby" honor Nev’s father, while "Bruce" pays tribute to Laura’s dad. On Beau’s fifth birthday, Laura shared photos on Instagram, describing him as her “little bestie” and wise beyond his years.
In a heartfelt moment shared with Morning Honey, Nev discussed the bond between his children. He recounted waking up to hear Cleo and Beau giggling together, stating, “There are a lot of sweet moments."

Regarding their family dynamics, Nev revealed that Cleo had hoped for a sister, reflecting on the family’s excitement surrounding Cy’s arrival. “Every kid you have, it feels like you’re leveling up and facing a new boss in the video game of parenting,” he stated.
Despite being the youngest, Cy keeps pace with his older siblings. On his second birthday, Laura shared a video compilation showcasing his growth, highlighting his playful moments with Cleo and Beau during holidays and at home.
