And then shortly after, she also broke the news to the world that she's a mom! "The other news I wanted to share is I’m a mama to a sweet 4yo boy. Started fostering in 2021 adopted near Christmas of 2022. I’m so lucky — being a parent is the biggest gift and most defining experience there is," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
