JESSICA: OK.
JERRY: Go deeper.
JESSICA: Go deeper?
JERRY: Yeah.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm Jerry.
This is my ex-wife, Jessica, AKA the only person
that I think I would trust with a razor
near my throat or nipples.
That would be Jessica.
That would be me.
[LAUGHTER]
Get my-- around the--
I am.
I'm getting there.
--the "air-e-oh-lee."
Ow!
That actually hurt.
I felt it pull.
The relationship that Jerry and I have
is very complicated to explain.
It's more than a friendship but less than a sexually
intimate relationship.
But we have a really strong love for each other.
I mean, we-- I guess we have.
Well, the-- I mean, it just doesn't seem like a big deal.
We've known each other for over 20 years,
and it doesn't seem unusual at all to me.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
JERRY: Jessica and I met about 22 years ago.
I saw her in the street, this flowing black hair,
and I said, "Wow, that's, like, the most beautiful girl
I've ever seen in my life."
We eventually got married.
And I think the best times that we had together
were definitely our family times where
we were just enjoying the kids.
I had a clear shot of your butt crack.
Ow!
Jessica and I made four children,
and we stayed married for about 15 years.
Smile.
And then we didn't talk for five years
through an incredibly horrible divorce,
and then things came back around.
And now, we all live in the same house as one big happy family.
But things are about to change because I've invited
a new person into our world.
Hi.
I'm Kayee Lovey, and I'm Jerry's new girlfriend.
Oh.
Here it goes.
Hi.
Who are you?
I'm Emilio.
Emilio?
I'm Kayee Lovey.
Today, I am moving in my girlfriend, Kayee,
with Jessica, the kids, and I. She
and I have been dating online about nine months,
and I have to see if a relationship can go anywhere.
Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
I'm meeting everybody right now.
I'm excited.
JERRY: I'm sending my two sons to bring her to the house.
I've been incredibly stressed getting the house ready.
Yeah.
It's a good sign that maybe I'm a little stressed.
So yeah, maybe that's too much information.
I'm filling up a mattress for Kayee.
No way. JERRY: Why?
Not in here.
Because this is my room.
Last week, Jerry kind of drops this bomb like, hey, Jess,
I met this girl online, and I'm having her move in with us.
Had the boys, like, ever even heard her name?
Like, have they ever heard of her?
They know nothing about her.
I wouldn't do it if I didn't have a good feeling about her.
Jerry, you don't even know this person.
I mean, I just need to-- to figure this out.
I'm going to make it happen.
It's my house.
I think I'm done with this conversation.
I was like, what?
I tried not to overreact because I didn't want the kids
to know how upset I was.
It was a big shock.
So cool.
Like, this is very spacey here.
Like, I like how there's, like, fields
and fields and emptiness.
It just leaves space for imagination.
You know your dad took me to my first Bulls game ever?
Oh my gosh.
Yeah.
That's so funny.
I first met Kayee a year ago.
When I met her, it was pre-COVID,
and Jessica wasn't living with me at the time.
We met at the airport.
I went by a little place that was selling sunglasses,
and I quickly went wow.
I was working at a sunglass boutique.
He came in there looking all dapper and--
is dapper a word?
I forgot.
[BLEEP] Sorry.
I be creating some--
girl.
The first date that we went on was
a professional basketball game.
We had a great time, you know, and then we went out to dinner.
We went to for Italian food afterwards
and had a really nice date.
We had a date set up for the next week,
but I ended up in the hospital.
It was a Friday afternoon.
I'll never forget the day.
I was looking around at my boys, and I had 104.7 temperature.
And I said, "I need to go to the hospital."
I had histoplasmosis, which is a fungal infection in my blood
and in my lungs.
My lungs were completely filled.
I had liver failure, kidney failure, respiratory failure,
a blood infection.
So they told my boys and my brother
there's no way I could probably make it through the night.
But the next thing I know, it was a month later,
and I woke up.
Made some blueberry muffins.
JERRY: Jessica moved back from Utah
to help rehabilitate me after my long hospital stay
and also take care of the kids.
And his favorite asparagus salad.
I blanched the asparagus.
I've got some garbanzos and onions.
When you feel for a moment that you could lose
that person, then all of a sudden,
you realize how important it is to you.
You realize what that is in your life.
And so I think that that appreciation for each other
has just gotten a lot stronger.
It's really something to be thankful for.
I'm so excited!
Oh my god, this is the moment.
Honey, I'm home.
Uh-oh.
KAYEE: Hi.
You look fabulous.
Thank you.
I would normally not have Kayee Lovey move in with me,
but due to the pandemic and my illness,
we had no other choice.
Well, look at that.
You have a face.
The online thing is only going to go so far,
and I'm not getting any younger.
I'm not going to sit around for another year
and just figure out, you know, is
this going to work virtually?
So you want to see the rest of the house
since you're going to have to get used to it?
OK.
So I asked Kayee Lovey to quarantine
for 14 days in my cabin out in the woods,
no contact with anyone else, which I know is a lot to ask.
This is the living room, and Jessica is--
Hi.
I'm Kayee Lovey.
Nice to meet you, Kaye.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Jessica.
You probably know that, right?
Well, welcome.
Thanks.
I'm excited to be here.
Jessica's very excited to have you.
Yeah, yeah. - Yeah.
We're good. We're good.
JESSICA: OK, good.
All right, let me just show you--
I'm going to show her around a little bit, OK?
JESSICA: OK.
All right, come on over here.
When Jerry first told me about his ex-wife living in the same
house, the truth of the honest of the matter of the fact
is I was pissed, "enranged."
This is the yoga room.
This is where Jessica does a lot of yoga.
Oh my god.
Is that that new, like, roller thing where you--
JERRY: Yeah.
KAYEE: --roll on your back, and it cracks it for you?
JERRY: I think so.
KAYEE: That is so cool.
So I'm sure if you and Jessica get along,
you can borrow her stuff, but--
KAYEE: You're not funny.
Ping pong table.
Do you play ping pong?
- Totally. - Really?
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm so ser--
[GASPS] Pac-Man and Galaga!
Oh my gosh, this is so cute.
My friends, they think I'm crazy.
They think I'm bat [BLEEP] crazy to move in.
Whose tent is this?
You want to see if you fit?
Oh my gosh.
But I'm like, I'm here because I have feelings for him,
and I want to know if it's actually real and not made up.
JESSICA: What was your impression?
What did you think?
It's going to be an adjustment, I think.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, OK.
When Kayee got here, it was a little bit different,
but I didn't really mind.
I usually stay in my room, so it's not too crazy.
But my mom is not as much of a people person.
I think the only thing we have left is my room.
See you guys in a bit.
All right, this is my room.
Like?
Yes.
It's been literally a year that I actually
had his manly arms around me.
It's comfy.
Oh my gosh. Is it?
Yeah.
Woo.
JERRY: What do you think?
Comfy?
Yes, comfy.
I can literally just go to sleep right now.
I'm dying to be swooned upon, like yeah.
That's a unicorn light.
I need that.
I'm scared of the dark.
Maybe you can borrow it in your bedroom.
There is one small detail that I wasn't quite honest about prior
to her moving in with me.
You're actually not going to be staying in my bedroom with me.
My bed is a little bit crowded.
