The following podcast is a Dear Media production. This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavallari, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more. And just a fair warning, there will probably be some oversharing.
First of all, cheers.
Cheers. Love you.
Love you. Yay. Happy holidays.
Happy holidays. But by the time this airs, it will be the end of January. So happy new year. Oh my God. And you will be older at that time.
I will be.
It will be my last year in my 30s. I can't.
I'm actually like so excited for you. I think 40 is like awesome.
I'm actually not weird about it. I don't think. Yeah, I don't. Don't pretend to be weird about it. I don't actually care at all. I love getting older. Right? I love getting older.
And you're just like a fine wine, babe. I don't like wine, but.
Well, so are you. Thanks, babe. We've known each other a long time. So long. That's kind of crazy to think about.
Decades.
Literally decades. Met in LA in our early 20s. Okay, so last time you were on the pod, you were pregnant. I was. You were pregnant. We were in Chicago and we were talking about, based in a nutshell, not settling, waiting for the one.
The right one.
The right one. The right one.
And like, if you're going to wait that long, just like don't settle.
Just...
If you waited like 40 years, like just don't settle.
Just don't settle.
Just don't do it.
So now you have Oliver who will be two in June. Crazy. And he is the cutest thing on the planet.
Thank you so much. I like, I'm a little biased. I think he's a cute man. He is so cute. He's a complicated man at times, but he's really cute.
All men are.
Do you think he looks like me?
Okay. I was literally just going to say this. I do think he looks like you. Do you see it?
Thank you for asking. I feel like he has... When he gives me dirty looks, I see my husband. But I do think he looks like me. And I'm not saying that I love myself, but he's really cute. And I like when people say that he's cute and that he looks like me. Because then... I feel like I could be cute too. It's a reflection of you.
No, but it's interesting because like people over the years have been like, some people will say Cam looks like me. Some people, I do not see myself in any of my kids.
Oh my God. I fully see yourself.
I don't see it at all. Really? No, not at all. Sailor, I'm just now starting to be like, oh. Oh, I do. Like when I was her age, I think we looked alike.
I was going to say, but also because she's a girl. See, I see the boys in you. Like Camden, I always have seen.
I know. See, it's so funny. I don't see it. So I'm always curious if parents can see themselves in their kids.
I think it's funny when people, when a baby's born, they're like, it's you. I'm like, it looks like an alien.
Like, why are you telling me?
The baby doesn't look like anybody.
It doesn't look like anybody. But I think it's, like, so funny. They're like, oh, my God, I see you. I'm like, and people just do that to validate that, like, it's your baby. I'm like, you do not see me. But okay, cool. Or, like, they'll ask, like, really young. I'm like, now I start, like, as he becomes a human, I'm like, oh, I could see more. But, like, babe, at the beginning, no. They look like a baby.
They look, exactly.
A smushed, smoky baby.
No, it's very rare that there's a cute baby, by the way. Agreed. But he is adorable. I was going to say, but. But your baby and my babies.
Yeah, I was going to say, and your babies were so cute. And you have like so many babies.
Or you had so many babies. Had babies. So today we wanted to talk about motherhood and the truth about motherhood. We've been having conversations and, you know, motherhood is hard and that's what you have your best friends for. But for some reason, you can't say that out loud, literally publicly. And so we just wanted to have a really honest conversation about what motherhood is really like. And you're knee deep in it right now. You know, you have a year and a half old baby. I obviously have three, but mine are older. And so it's interesting to like go back and hear your stories.
