Since the couple is about to settle down, Jordan admitted to Us Weekly that he and JoJo have been talking about starting a family.
"It's kind of been [a conversation that's] coming up a little bit more recently," Jordan shared on Tuesday.
Jordan said "all of" their friends already have kids, adding, "Everyone that will be my groomsman, except for one, had a child in the last calendar year."
Jordan and JoJo's original plan was to "get married and then wait a couple years" to conceive, however, the pair had to postpone their 2020 wedding.
JoJo and Jordan, whose engagement aired on ABC in August 2016, initially planned on getting married on June 13, 2020.
However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, JoJo and Jordan decided in 2020 to push their wedding back to May 2021. But when that time came, JoJo realized her dream wedding wasn't going to happen that month or even by the end of that year.
At the time, there was a 10-person maximum capacity on who could gather at the Santa Barbara vineyard, which the couple had selected as their perfect wedding venue, and so JoJo was "frustrated" over COVID restrictions and didn't want to wed under those circumstances.

"I think we're at that time in our life where we're like, 'Oh, my gosh, we've got to have a kid tomorrow,' but also... I don't think we'll wait a long time," Jordan said. "But that might not be right away."
JoJo added, "We're not as scared of it."

JoJo said of potentially getting pregnant, "It's a big deal. [But] I think it's going to be one of those things where... we're just going to wake up one morning and be like, 'I think we're ready. Let's do it."
JoJo predicted the couple will be ready to start trying "in the next, like, one [or] two years."
JoJo just celebrated her bachelorette party in late March in Cabo San Lucas.
She and her sports-analyst fiance reportedly moved to Puerto Rico in 2021, and the couple apparently loves the idea of raising their future children there.
"It would be the best place to raise a family," JoJo told Us.
"My brothers live there, so my nephew lives, like, the best life ever. They're active outside all the time. It's in a great community. You just get out and play more [here], which I think is really cool."
"A lot of kids, I think, get into technology a lot these days," she continued, "but the kids there, they're always outside and in the ocean. It's just cool."

"Obviously, it will be our first house that we're in once we're married next year. And so kids could happen at any point after that, and we definitely have room," Jordan shared at the time.
But first comes marriage, and JoJo and Jordan are excited about their nuptials.
JoJo and Jordan revealed they'll be doing a first look and intend to write their own vows, and the ceremony will have "an Italian feel" to it and be "classic, timeless and romantic."
When the pair's wedding was postponed for the second time in 2021, JoJo told Access, "We know that when it does happen, it will be everything that we want it to be. People will all feel very comfortable and we'll be in a better place."
"We'll get to have everyone there that we love, because I don't want to have a wedding with my closest family and friends not being able to be there. So, it's fluid -- it's all fluid!" she added.
Prior to starring on The Bachelorette, JoJo competed for Ben Higgins' heart on The Bachelor's 20th season and finished as the runner-up behind Lauren Bushnell.
