“It was more so what I would be putting into my body that I just didn’t feel comfortable with,” Amy told EW.

“Fully support it for any woman who decides to do it, I feel like women should be empowered to do what they feel like is best for them. But in that moment I just felt like I didn’t want to do that. So we explored other options.”

The “other options” included discussing Johnny getting a vasectomy, as well condoms.

“We definitely had conversations about a little bit of everything, and I feel like condoms are a sense of birth control in that sense,” she explained.

“It was a surprise because I didn’t expect it to be as big of a deal. Obviously it is a huge deal, especially if you’re considering to marry somebody. But he hadn’t been with somebody in the past that wasn’t on birth control, so I feel like for him it was more of a shock, which was more of a shock for me as well because I feel like I know so many women that are not on birth control. It was just definitely very different based on both of our experiences.”
