Recently, during an appearance on Erin and Sara Foster's The World's First Podcast, the 43-year-old actress said about her marriage to Chris Robinson, "People thought it was impulsive, but I was just like, 'You know what? I'm just going to dive right into this. I'm not gonna second guess it. I'm in love with him. I'm not gonna pretend like, oh, we should wait. I'm madly in love, and I want to marry him, and so I just didn't think twice. I'm kind of still like that except with a little more wisdom under my belt."
