hi kristen hi it's so good to see you
when you look at that video what do you
remember most about that because it was
not only the launch of the brand
but really the launch of very cavallari
yeah yeah it's so
wild because on one hand it feels like
it was so long ago and then on the other
hand it feels like it was yesterday you
know
but um it's been kind of amazing what
we've been able to accomplish in three
and a half years and
you know i feel like right now i'm so
focused on my kids and uncommon james
and obviously my cookbook through
comfort but
that's it and it's the first time in my
life that i'm not like okay i need to be
doing this and that and
i'm just sort of like letting life
happen and just focusing on the things
that
really bring me a lot of joy and
happiness and
it feels really good so i'm i'm feeling
great right now
you can tell from everything you're
talking about and doing you're
definitely going through a big moment
in your life right now uh divorce is
hard on everybody we got to see some of
it play out in the show but what advice
would you give to anybody going through
what you're going through right now
oh my gosh i mean it's so hard to give
advice because you know everyone's
situation is so
different i actually think that being in
in quarantine for the last you know six
months
has been a blessing it's been a great
time because we've been forced to
hypernate i haven't had to
see people i didn't want to see and
answer questions i didn't have to do
press
you know this is the first time i'm
doing interviews and so i actually think
that we're really lucky we went through
it when we did go
through it but you know i come from
divorced parents and
my mom never bashed my dad one time and
i think that that was a really
powerful good thing and i want to be
like that for my kids you know
and so um i think just staying really
positive and speaking of each other in a
very
you know from a very good place and
being respectful to one another is
really important for the kids
the kids seem to be doing great you
posted a great picture father's day of
all of y'all watching jay
play and you wrote the sweetest stuff
how are the kids doing cause i think if
mom and dad are good kids are good
yeah i think that there's a lot of truth
to that obviously it's been an
adjustment but i think that they're now
you know
in the rhythm and taking different buses
home and
you know having to navigate all of that
but i do think that they're doing really
well i mean yesterday the five of us all
hung out and it was great you know so i
think that if
if mom and dad can put on a united front
then like you said the kids are in a
better place and so we're
navigating it the best way we know how
and we're taking it day by day but
you know the kids are going to be the
priority forever so
uh we definitely take that into
consideration uh
you've never looked better by the way
let's talk about the buns picture thank
you
the buns i wanted to recreate it i'm
like that is the hottest dude
you should i love little hot tamales
and did your friend who took it and what
did you think before you sent it out
because i was like
high five you go oh thank you i love you
um my stylist took it and
i sat on it for a day because i was like
do i post it or do i not post it and
then i was like you know what screw it
like i don't read my comments but a lot
of people really like
you've got mommy shamed and whatnot and
i just don't understand when you become
a mom it doesn't mean we have to
crawl into a cave and hide out the rest
of our lives you know a mom is a large
part of who i am but it's not
all of who i am and so and i've
literally worked my ass off for that
photo shoot i was waking up at 5 00 a.m
you know in the gym busting my ass
eating really healthy and i felt good
you know i feel really good right now
and so i just thought why not it's a
year of a lot of new things which i love
and
your new cookbook because i follow you
you're always making delicious meals but
what's what's the heart what's the one
behind this one
yeah so this is true comfort and it's
all healthy comfort food and i'm just
excited to share with everybody that you
can in fact
have comfort food on a daily basis as
long as you're choosing the right
ingredients you know for so long it was
like
comfort food it is fattening and it's so
bad for you and that's
just not the case if you make some swaps
so this cookbook is
all recipes that i grew up with like my
dad's meatballs and sauce that we always
made christmas eve it's
crockpot lasagna mom friendly meals that
are easy
um spicy peruvian chicken apple
dutch babies you know just like yummy
french toast casserole like really yummy
comforting stuff now is it way too
soon you mentioned in bed at night you
posted that cute picture with stephen i
know that was a funny one way back from
lagoon
i loved it but are people trying to set
you up
like what's that what's the story you
know
i that's so funny i'm not
ready yet i don't know i'm i'm just
trying to do one thing at a time so i'm
still not divorced yet you know and
i'm on my own for the first time in 10
years and i like it
it feels really good i love having my
house
my space being able to just focus on me
for a minute and i
i've never understood people who could
jump from relationship to relationship
like i want to reflect on the marriage i
want to be able to learn and grow from
it and take what i can
and then apply it to my next
relationship and you know i was with jay
for 10 years i'm in no rush to be in
another relationship i'm just enjoying
the moment i like that one word to
describe where you are in your life
right now
happy i like happy you can tell
well kristen i love seeing you and
everything you got going on
keep in touch i'll see you when you're
in california whenever all this stuff
goes away yes
