And obviously they haven’t met the new boyfriend,” she recently said on her podcast. “Having said that, the boyfriend and I are talking about future things.”

“And in my mind, I’m like, it makes me excited and it also makes me scared for — you just never know, right?” she continued. “And with kids, I don’t want them to be in a place where their ground is not as steady as possible. Like I want them to be so secure, solid foundation, and I’m in charge of that.”

“And then always my concern — I don’t care about me, my heart’s been broken a million times, I can deal with another broken heart — my kids, that’s a different story,” she concluded. “They’re older now, they understand more now.”
