He probably smells her hormones. You'll need to keep him away from the nest and kittens for a few weeks. I asked if she used the crate because the mom doesn't go into the nest until she is ready to give birth for fear of soiling or attracting predators.

so looking ahead:

Will she and the kittens be warm enough and are there any drafts? the kittens can not regulate their body heat for the first 3 weeks.  You can always move mom and kittens to a better spot later if need be.

what kind of a crate is it?  Check the openings and make sure the kittens  cannot get their heads stuck in the openings.  You may want to cover part of the crate so the kittens are not in direct sunlight.

She may have more - pauses are common. Though they often appear/feel lumpy following birthing from the swollen uterus on both sides.
