Please note IMO NIck still loves Eve too because I believe someone can be in love with 2 people at once.
Kelly babies were just over a year at the beginning of season 6 and in the show Kelly was born in 2015.

When an even split of 2,000 adult men and women who have been in relationships for at least a year were asked how quickly they fell in love with a new partner, most men said three months, while women replied five months.
Asked how soon they admitted to their partner that they were in love, women would declare their feelings at the six month mark – a month after most women said they had noticed they were in love. Meanwhile, the study suggests men are more cautious – expressing their true emotions after nine months.
I can't say whether their love grew faster or slower than average, but it did so amidst particularly unique circumstances. They would be outliers to any statistical average, because most couples don't start with a kid and work backwards. The mere fact that they lived together for that entire period, would seem to have accelerated the affection they have for each other. When you start living with someone, the idiosyncrasies and temperament of your partner come into stark relief. If you're suited to life with someone, you're going to learn that fact gradually. But most people are well into a relationship before making that leap, so compatibility might take longer to truly suss out. Nick and Adalind got thrown into the deep end, during what is one of the most trying periods for any couple. Add onto that the external pressures of past and present, and you have a couple who really endured a trial by fire. Some people dismiss their relationship out of hand, but I don't know of any doomed relationship that could have come through all of that with a sense of stability and deepening affection. In a way, it reminds me of an arranged marriage. They could have just as easily driven each other crazy, or bickered relentlessly. But they just seemed to click. I think Nick and Adalind managed to get a more profound understanding of each other than they would have through any, more typical dating scenario. It strikes me that they've never even been on an actual, run of the mill date. It seems to me they're suited for each other, because they've already weathered more than most relationships could handle, and they're just getting started.
