Meet the Schulman Kids
Cleo James Schulman, 9
Cleo arrived Oct 21, 2016, at 6:01 a.m. weighing 6 lbs 10 oz. Nev announced her birth on Instagram, calling her the “best thing ever.”
- Art & dance: At 2 she started painting; her parents still post her art. After Nev competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2020, Cleo became “obsessed” and began ballet.
- TV cameo: Age 4, she appeared on Catfish with Nev.
- Wedding role: She served as flower girl when Nev and Laura married in July 2017.
Beau Bobby Bruce Schulman, 7
Beau was born Jan 9, 2019, at 7 lbs 15 oz. His first names honor Nev’s dad; Bruce salutes Laura’s father.
Laura’s 2024 birthday post called him her “little bestie” and praised his “artistic efforts to circumvent the ‘no candy for breakfast’ rule.”
Nev says he often overhears Cleo and Beau “giggling together,” proof of a tight sibling bond.
Cy Monroe Schulman, 4
Cy arrived Sept 25, 2021. Laura’s reveal post read simply, “Nothin’ like it.”
Cleo had hoped for a sister, but Nev told PEOPLE they “convinced her that it was best [to be the only girl] because then she gets to be the only princess.”
Nev likens parenting three kids to leveling up in a video game: “Every kid you have … you’re facing a new boss.”
Life Lessons from Fatherhood
Becoming a dad, Nev wrote on Facebook in 2017, “unlocked an entirely new part of who I am.” He admits it can be “difficult and uncomfortable,” yet insists “the reward is far greater than anything you could ever imagine.”
Key Takeaways
- Cleo, Beau, and Cy each arrived before the couple’s wedding in 2017.
- Laura’s 2023 miscarriage post added candor to their family story.
- Nev credits his kids for helping him embrace everyday silliness and personal growth.
The Schulman household blends art, dance, laughter, and constant leveling-up in the game of parenting.
