She previously told People magazine: “It’s been now 10 and a half years I’ve been in their lives and they’ve been in my life. They’ve grounded me.
“In the beginning, when I first met my husband, then-boyfriend, I was like, ‘This is never gonna last because you got four kids! How’s this gonna work?’
“But then I met the kids and honestly was like ‘Wow, kids are amazing’…”
