Rehab AddictstarNicole Curtis' kids — Ethan and Harper — have grown up in and around old houses.

Ethan, who Curtis welcomed in 1997 with her ex Steven Cimini, spent much of his childhood in a construction zone. He was frequently included in episodes of her home renovation series, and her life as a mom often intersected with her work restoring old homes.

“I’m always open to being a better parent,” she told PEOPLE in 2017. “There is no ‘I’m the best parent,’ there is no, ‘I’m the parent, you’re right’ — you have to be open to change.”

At the end of the day, Curtis wants to create aloving, fun environmentfor her sons.

“We’re doing the best we can and the memories are so fun,” she shared in 2018. “That’s what’s most important: when my kids think about their life, I want them to remember we had fun.”

Here’s everything to know about Nicole Curtis’ kids: sons Ethan and Harper.

Curtiswelcomed her first child, Ethan, on Dec. 24, 1997, and he quickly became a fixture on the job site.

She added, “It finally came to a point where I promised him he would no longer have to live in drywall dust.”

The mother-son duo were close as Ethan grew up. “We were together 24/7 back then. Every step, this brilliant boy of mine was with me,” Curtis wrote onInstagramin 2022. “I couldn’t get enough time with him, still can’t. So blessed to have my boys — and there’s no greater moments for me than watching them together.”

In a 2022 appearance on his mom’s show,Rehab Addict Rescue, Ethan sweetly spoke up in support of his mom.

“She’s worked to the bone to get what she has,” he said in an episode before expressing how much he appreciated it.

“If I had to sum Ethan up in a couple of words it’s ‘opposite of me,’ " Curtis explained about her son. “The thing is though, he knows what is right for these houses because he has 22 years of experience, from the womb to now. This child has heard me walk and talk about old houses for his entire life.”
