Someone says hi, you just say, \u2018I&#8217;m good.\u2019 And like, you genuinely can put a smile on your face and look like you&#8217;re good. But once you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\/parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">have three kids<\/a>, it&#8217;s like, I cannot fake it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can show up and have a spit up all over me and the kids are being crazy. And it&#8217;s, like, ah, here we are in all of our mess,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Being able to let people see that and not having to show up polished or presentable but still be loved and be in a relationship has been, I think, a really sweet thing we&#8217;ve learned this year. But it&#8217;s taken us a swallow in our pride, a time or two to show up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashley Hume is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
