I have two kids. I have two boys. Okay. They're younger. They're seven and nine. I am open to more kids. I've never thought of writing off the idea of no more kids or I need more kids. I very much believe that that would be something when I would meet that person that we would determine together, if that would make sense. So I'm open to it.

Tell me about the relationship or relationship that fucked you up. So, I mean, I think the biggest one is obviously my last marriage or my only marriage that ended. So that was a situation where from start to finish, it was not good. I probably should have walked away from it a lot earlier. I met this person out of college. We were together for about five or six years before we got married.

We were married for a little under eight years. I had my two boys. But the relationship itself was incredibly strange. And I for years would deal with. I've heard a lot of narcissistic talk and labeling. So I'm sensitive to the use of that word. But I was dealing with someone who truly battled demons. And I got sucked into that world and had a really hard time with this person for several years.
