Cindy Crawford’s 10-year-old daughter, Kaia, gets a Versace campaign: way too young?

I’ve always secretly longed for the days when supermodels weren’t entirely emaciated and preparing for runway shows by exclusively ingesting consecutive weeks of protein shakes. So in other words, I really miss the decades when Cindy Crawford was a successful, big-time runway model. Of course, Cindy is now 45 and has, sadly, resigned herself to a face full of botox and fillers when in actuality she’d probably look far better without all of that fakery. Such a shame. At any rate, Cindy is now preparing to pass the torch to her daughter, 10-year-old Kaia Gerber (her father is Cindy’s husband, Randy, heir to the Gerber fortune), who has just completed her very first advertising campaign for Young Versace (see preview above).

Initially, I hesitated before covering this story since someone eloquently labelled me as “old” after I questioned whether Dakota Fanning was too young to pose on the cover of Cosmo alongside headlines such as “His Best Sex Ever” and “Um, Vagina, Are You Okay Down There?” at the relatively tender age of 17. Yes, I am a 36-year-old woman. Is that so shameful?

At any rate, Kaia is much younger than Dakota and perhaps obscenely young for the world of modelling. Hell, Kaia is even younger than 13-year old Lottie Moss (sister of Kate), who recently appeared in her very first Storm Management portfolio. However, I question whether it is inevitable whether gorgeous Kaia would eventually become a model anyway, so — let’s face it — what’s the big deal?

Like mother, like daughter!

Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s 10-year-old daughter, has landed her first fashion campaign — and it’s none other than Versace.

Kaia is the first face of Young Versace, the designer’s children’s line geared at kids 0-12. The modeling gig is extra special given the fact that Cindy was a well-known muse of Gianni Versace.

“Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her,” Donatella Versace, Creative Director of Versace, said. “Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!”

Judging from the first photo to release, Kaia is a natural in front of the camera rocking a cropped leather jacket and a high-waist skirt and she even manages to make socks and sandals look good together!

[From Yahoo!]

Speaking as a mother, this is a really tough call to make. My first instinct is to question whether Cindy is jumping the gun by tossing her 10-year-old daughter into the modeling ring, but it’s quite clear that Cindy is also present on the shoot to make sure that nothing inappropriate goes down. Obviously, Cindy knows the drill, and she knows that photographers will often try to make their subjects do inappropriate things just because they can. In other words, Kaia will probably never be photographed by Terry Richardson. I feel like Cindy knows best in this regard and will safeguard her daughter at least until the age of majority or emancipation.

However, my real question is this — does the outfit represented (and worn by Kaia) in the header photograph accurely represent the stated 0-12 audience? No preteen that I’ve ever known would ever be allowed to wear a skirt that short.

Here’s Cindy, her husband Randy Gerber, and Kaia shopping in Malibu on 12/4/11. In these photos especially, Kaia looks so much like her mother.

And here are Cindy, Rande, and Kaia in Cabo, Mexico on 11/27/11. This was one of the vacations in which Cindy met up with with George Clooney and Stacy Keibler. With these photos in mind, I do not look forward to the day that my daughter asks to wear a bikini.

Cindy Crawford has a face full of Botox & fillers, experts say

Last year, I began to document Cindy Crawford’s descent into Botox-faced tragedy. I had always liked Cindy – she radiated a healthy, accessible beauty, and she was one of the big supermodels that I grew up with. But in May of 2011, Cindy’s Botox-face took a turn for the worse – it looked like she had a bad batch of ‘Tox or something, and one of her eyebrows was stuck in a weird angle. And then in October, she started to look super-puffy, like she’d gone in for the motherlode of fillers. Now, Cindy admitted years ago that she had gone in for Botox, and she wasn’t “above” some minor cosmetic work. But it gets to the point – and everyone gets to this point – where I have to ask: wouldn’t she look better had she not messed with her face at all? Anyway, Radar has one of their “expert claims random celebrity does X,Y,Z” stories, and this one is about what Cindy MIGHT be doing to her face.

Cindy Crawford attended the Los Angeles Lakers game on Tuesday night looking a little different in the face, and a board certified dermatologist exclusively tells RadarOnline.com it’s because the former supermodel appears to have had injections.

“Her cheeks are a lot fuller. She definitely had something injected in her cheeks. Most probably Radiesse or the other option would be Sculptra,” Dr. Ben Behnam said.

“They’re both designed to give people higher cheekbones. It’s very popular in the industry and her cheeks are visibly higher and fuller.”

On top of fillers and injections, Dr. Behnam tells RadarOnline.com it looks like the 45-year-old beauty had some Botox.

“Her eyebrows are also higher than before. She probably used Botox to raise the brow,” he said.

“Something else that’s different is she doesn’t have the definition in her jaw area, which could just be because she’s getting older.”

According to Dr. Behnam, injections like Sculptra are typically done over a period of months and can last years, so it’s hard to tell when the mother of two had the procedure done.

“She has what’s called the Triangle of Beauty (one side of the cheek to the other cheek to the chin area, creates a triangle) and right now she’s losing that triangle,” Dr. Behnam said.

“It gives her that look of not being young anymore. Because that’s how we perceive youth, is the triangle of beauty.”

Let’s not forget, Cindy has her own skin care line called Meaningful Beauty, which brags that it’s “Cindy’s anti-aging secret.”

Secret or no secret, “She still looks good for someone her age!” Dr. Behnam says.

[From Radar]

Cindy is 45 years old – and I kind of think she looks her age, if not older, with all of this extra work. Which just shows how far our perceptions of aging have been skewed. We look at puffy Botox-faces and our eyes register that something terrible has happened, but we’ve grown so accustomed to it, we just say, “Oh, she looks good… for her age.”

Besides that, it must be creepy for Cindy to have to hang out with all of George Clooney’s pieces every holiday, right? Especially since so many of them resemble her old face.

George Clooney vacations with Cindy Crawford & Stacy Keibler in Cabo yet again

Last night, I read a Daily Mail story about George Clooney traveling down to Cabo san Lucas yet again, for his millionth Mexican holiday of the year. First: when did Clooney become of the male version of Jennifer Aniston? Second: At first, the reports suggested that Clooney was flying solo in Cabo… meaning that Stacy Keibler was NOT traveling with him. But the Mail claimed that Cindy Crawford was there, so I got super-excited that Clooney might have dumped Stacy right before his big awards season push. Turns out, not so much. These are new photos of George and Stacy together in Cabo yesterday. You can see them riding in a golf cart together.

So… Stacy and George are still together. Oscar-Date Barbie will be Clooney’s Oscar Date, for better or for worse. But will she last much longer than the awards season? Elisabetta Canalis managed to stick around a lot longer than I was expecting, but then Eli messed it up by talking about marriage and babies and Clooney quickly had security escort her out. Stacy might fall into the same trap too – one look at her Twitter page, and it’s clear that she’s got love and babies on her mind. Poor Cray-Cray. At least she’s making money out of this relationship though – the NYDN just re-confirmed that Keibler’s appearance fee has jumped to $25,000 a gig, and that she’s in high demand now that she’s Clooney’s Girl.

I’m also including a photo of Cindy Crawford, the girl Clooney wishes he was with.

Cindy Crawford’s current Botox-face: better or worse?

wenn3552242

Several months ago, I talked about some recent (at the time) photos of Cindy Crawford, where her face looked especially jacked. Now, Cindy has admitted to using Botox and collagen injections in the past – she claims she did it to restore elasticity to her face. So, it’s not like the state of Cindy’s Botox-face is up for debate at this point. She has a Botox-face, this is a fact. So now the question becomes: does Cindy need to be doing this much to her face? Would she look better if she wasn’t so heavily “injected”? Back in May, I was horrified by the state of her, but then she showed up at the Cannes Film Festival (to support her friend and stalker George Clooney), and her face looked slightly better.

wenn3552241

So these are new photos of Cindy in Russia today. In the closeups, you can definitely see where Cindy’s cheeks have been “filled”. But does she look better? I do think her face looks less jacked than earlier this year. I will say this, though – I think Cindy has done so much, one of her eyes has gone wonky, which happens to many celebrity women. I don’t know the medical reason for it.

By the way, the frequent complaint I hear when I call someone a Botox-face or a cat-face is that they have wrinkles, thus they’re somehow not using injections or Botox. Cindy has wrinkles. Madonna has wrinkles. Teri Hatcher has wrinkles. It’s not about “wrinkles” and whether or not Botox or collagen makes the wrinkles disappear completely. Botox freezes, collagen “fills” and both leave behind the unintended tell-tale signs of the work done.

Cindy Crawford’s face is stuck this way: tragic or not that bad?

wenn5645917

Cindy Crawford is 45 years old, and I’m just going to say it: because she’s jacked her face, she looks older. That’s what happens when you go overboard with Botox and fillers, ladies. You end up looking OLDER. These are pics of Cindy at a charity event (with Paris Hilton, no less) a few nights ago. I like Cindy’s dress, and I like that she looks more cognizant and together than Paris, who looks drunk/high/stupid. What I hate is that Cindy is jacking her face. UGH.

Anyway, do you remember Cindy’s recent interview where she lamented (sort of) the death of the supermodel? She was talking about how hard it is for models to get work these days, I guess specifically referencing how few of the big contracts are given to models rather than actresses/singers/celebrities. Well, Cindy spoke too soon – she covers the May issue of Vogue Mexico, below. She’s Botoxy McPantless.

Cindy Crawford: “It is so hard for models to get a job these days”

wenn3277898

Cindy Crawford has a new interview in Parade Magazineyou can read the full piece here. She talks about her history as one of the most successful models of all time, her long-standing work with Pepsi, talking about body image with her daughter, and how the modeling game has changed for younger generations. I thought this was the most interesting quote from the piece: “I just saw the Covergirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models.” That sounds strange to me because although there is a dearth of American fashion magazine COVERS for models, models are still getting a lot of work all over. That being said, the Era of the Supermodel is over, and there will never be a group like Cindy, Linda, Christy, Naomi, Claudia… who am I missing? Anyway, here are some excerpts from the interview:

Teaming up with Pepsi.
“I did my first commercial with Pepsi almost 20 years ago, and as my life changed, I’ve continued working with them, but in different ways. When I was in my 30s, we moved to Diet Pepsi, and then they recognized the health and fitness aspect of what I’m about now, so they came to me with Propel Zero.”

Getting the whole family in on the action.
“This is the first time I’ve worked with my husband and my kids together. We happened to shoot on a Sunday, so it didn’t really even feel like work. Also, I was wearing exercise clothes, so it was showing me more as a busy, working mom. But we had fun and it was good for my kids, too. Originally, I didn’t want to use my kids in the commercial because I don’t ever want to make them feel like they have to work because they might be in a bad mood that day or they might want to have a play date. I don’t ever want to say, ‘Well sorry, you’re booked.’ But the night before the commercial, they heard my husband and I talking and they heard that we were having ‘fake’ kids. They were like, ‘You can’t have fake kids! You have to have us!’ So at the last minute, they ended up doing it. They got to see that my job, even though it’s fun and I like it, is also work. Plus, it’s fun for them to see themselves on TV!”

How the former supermodel makes sure her kids grow up with a healthy body image.
“I think the way kids learn most is not by what you say, but by what you do. They see me making healthy choices, and they see my husband and I exercising. Being a woman and having a daughter, I don’t want her to feel like in order to be attractive or healthy or thin, that you have to deprive yourself all of the time. So if we go out for ice cream, I don’t’ say, ‘Oh, I can’t have that!” I’ll order one. I don’t make a big deal out of it. She sees how I eat and I always say that I try to be 80% good, 80% of the time because that’s achievable!”

How she balances her busy career with motherhood.
“It’s a constant balancing act for sure. Obviously, your family life is the priority, but there’s still other stuff you have to get done in a day. I think the way I make it work is by taking care of myself and that includes fitness and eating right and all those things, but also by being very organized and punctual. I’m realistic about what I can achieve because I can’t stand that feeling of constantly rushing and being late. I feel like I’ve finally found a good balance and even have a little time left over for myself.”

Do her kids know their mom is an icon?
“I don’t think so. By the time I had my kids, I wasn’t on the cover of Vogue every month anymore, so it wasn’t quite as in their faces. I think sometimes they’re still a little bit surprised or tickled when I get recognized or people say certain things. But I did get some playground credibility after doing Wizards of Waverly Place! All of the sudden their friends knew who I was.”

She’s not afraid of getting older.
“I think what really shows on your face –besides good hair color — is if you’re happy in your life. If you’re doing work that you enjoy and that is rewarding, then as my mom always said, ‘You’d rather have smile lines than frown lines.’ I don’t look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I. Sometimes I get that little pang, like ‘Oh, bummer, I wish I did.’ But at the same time, I see my children and I see them growing up and I look at my husband and the marriage that we’ve worked on and have together, and if all that is good and working, it’s a lot easier to be kind to your little fine lines or where gravity’s gotten the better of you.”

The modeling industry has changed since Cindy’s reign.
“I do feel like an outsider now, but I just saw the CoverGirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, ‘Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days.’ You have to sing and act, too. There doesn’t seem to be as much work specifically just for models. And I also think when I was modeling, size 6 was a normal size and now it’s like 2 or 0.”

On her Most Beautiful title by People Magazine in 1993 — a title recently given to Jennifer Lopez.
“It’s very flattering, but I’m a woman before anything else and I have my insecure days. It’s nice, but you also know that next year it will be given to someone else. You kind of take it with a grain of salt.”

On what makes someone truly beautiful.
“I think if people are passionate about something, it could be real estate or biochemistry, and that spark gets turned on in them, everyone’s beautiful in that zone.”

[From Parade]

I think Cindy is now and was always one of the most well-adjusted supermodels. She just seems like a nice, involved mom and like she’s got a perspective on her industry and how she wants to raise her kids. I would love to hear what she has to say about less wholesome subject, though. I want to hear some George Clooney stories. I want to know what she thinks about her drag queen look-alike, Elisabetta Canalis. I want to know what goes on when Cindy visits Lake Como.

By the way, I wrote this whole thing before I looked up these photos (from just a few weeks ago). Um… what the hell is Cindy doing to her face?!? Oh, Cindy. I take back everything nice I just said. STOP WITH THE BOTOX AND FILLERS.

Cindy Crawford admits to using botox

wenn2676282
About three years ago, supermodel Cindy Crawford was quoted in Gala Magazine as admitting to relying on Botox, collagen, and vitamin injections to maintain her gorgeous face. She said “I’m not going to lie to myself: past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, Botox and collagen.” The lovely 43 year-old mother of two is again admitting that she has the help of a dermatologist. Cindy tells GQ Magazine that her radiant skin is due to Botox, but that she doesn’t think she’s had collagen lately. She sounds pretty honest to me:

Cindy gets real in an upcoming interview for GQ. “There’s a doctor… in London who I’ve gone to for Botox,” Cindy, 43, admits. “I did a whole skin-care line with him. But I haven’t done collagen, I don’t think.” And Cindy says a little nip or tuck is only natural for someone of her stature. “Because people have such expectations of what they are going to find when they see me, that brings added pressure to fight the aging process,” she says. “But don’t get me wrong. I think I’m holding together pretty good!”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 14, 2009]

Cindy doesn’t have that waxy look that so many women get when they’re over-botoxed. While I would guess that she’s had something done to look that great, especially because she has no lines on her forehead or between her eyes, it wouldn’t immediately occur to me because she doesn’t look cat-like or overplumped. She’s radiant, and she’s a great advertisement for injectibles. It doesn’t hurt that she was gorgeous to start with. I’m getting around the age when I’m considering Botox, and am leaning toward trying it out. My face would probably look all jacked up though, which is why I haven’t done it yet. You can’t just go to any dermatologist and have to find a great one.

Cindy Crawford is shown at the premiere of Up In The Air with her husband Rande Gerber on 11/30/09.

Cindy Crawford & family are victims of bizarre extortion plot

wenn5215014

This is one of the most bizarre blackmail/extortion plots I’ve ever heard of. I fully expect it to be part of a future Law & Order: SVU episode (because it involves a minor). Here are the basics: Cindy Crawford and her millionaire Gerber heir husband Rande Gerber were victims of a blackmail plot by one of their former nannies and one of the nanny’s “acquaintances”. The blackmail involved a photo that the former nanny took of Kaia, the then seven-year-old daughter (who is now 8 years old) of Cindy and Rande, tied up on a chair during part of a “game”. When the nanny and this random person tried to blackmail Cindy and Rande for $100,000, threatening to sell the photo. Which is really, really gross. Anyway, it seems like Cindy and Rande contacted the authorities straight away, and everything is now a criminal and legal matter. Here’s more, including a statement from Cindy and Rande’s rep, from Us Weekly:

Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber are the latest celebrities to be ensnared in an extortion drama involving a bizarre photo of their eight year-old daughter, Kaia.

TMZ reported that an odd photo of Kaia (taken when she was seven) was stolen from a former nanny by an acquaintance named Edis Kayalar. The photo depicts her “bound to a chair and gagged,” TMZ notes, as part of the nanny’s “cops and robbers game.” (The parents were unaware of this “game.”) Kayalar subsequently threatened to sell the photo, thus beginning a blackmailing plot.

A rep for the couple has released the following statement to Usmagazine.com:

A criminal complaint was filed today in federal court in Los Angeles by the U.S. Attorney’s office and the FBI stating that Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have been the victims of an on-going extortion scheme. This crime has been committed by Edis Kayalar, an acquaintance of a former nanny employed by the family. Mr. Kayalar threatened to sell an image taken of the couple’s then-seven-year-old daughter. There was no previous awareness by Mr. Gerber and Ms. Crawford of the existence of the photograph when they were contacted by Mr. Kayalar. The photo was taken by the former nanny as part of a purported game without the knowledge of the parents. The couple reported the extortion threat to the police and the FBI began a criminal investigation in the matter. Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford intend to pursue any and all available legal action against anyone who aids the perpetrator in the distribution or sale of the photograph of their daughter.

[From Us Weekly]

God, this nanny and her friend sound like deplorable, disgusting people, don’t they? Who the hell does that? Ties a child up “as a game” with the idea to blackmail the parents? It’s completely gross, and I hope Kaia is okay (it sounds like she is). Here’s another thing – I hope they aren’t just being charged with extortion and all of the money-and-blackmail related crimes. Tying a child up, even if she thinks it’s just a game, could totally be a criminal offense as well. I’m thinking child endangerment, something like that. Cindy and Rande also have a 10 year old son – and there is no mention as to whether he was tied up as well (probably not). I’m glad the authorities got involved, and it sounds like Rande and Cindy will be pursuing their prosecution to fullest extent.

Cindy Crawford: I’m too healthy to be a supermodel today

fp_3805572_goff_crawford_cindy_101409
Cindy Crawford is giving us one of those “duh” moments. She’s out there promoting something, and during an interview she claimed that by today’s standards for models, she is simply too healthy to make it. Dur. Cindy goes on – talking about how she has “big breasts” (not really), normal thighs (still look skinny to me, but whatever) and toned upper arms (she does have great arms). I get that Cindy is trying to maybe make us feel better when describing a simple truth about the current crop super-skinny models, but I feel like this is a “thank you, Captain Obvious” moment. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t look with horror at the nearly pre-pubescent, shapeless girls that pass for “supermodels” these days? I miss Cindy. I miss Linda Evangelista, too. I loved Linda.

US former supermodel Cindy Crawford says she would have little chance of making it big in the fashion business today with her curvy figure, a German celebrity magazine reported Tuesday.

“I would not have become a supermodel in 2009. I look too healthy,” Crawford told Bunte.

“A body like mine with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms” is no longer what the industry is looking for, she said.

Crawford, 43, said she was happy with her physique but worried about the effects of ageing like wrinkles and bulges.

“That’s why I like being in my 40s so much — being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty,” she said.

Crawford, known for her trademark beauty spot above her upper lip, briefly studied chemical engineering before becoming one of the world’s most popular cover girls in the 1980s and 1990s.

[From Yahoo News]

It seems like Cindy has been getting more press lately for whatever reason. Part of it is that she’s launched a home accessories line at J.C. Penney, and she’s been giving more interviews. A few months ago she even talked about her “cellulite” in Redbook. Cindy has also been in the news because she’s been hanging out George Clooney and his girlfriend, who looks like a budget version of Cindy. I wonder if Cindy ever really thinks about that – that her husband’s best friend is a little bit obsessed with her, to the point where he seems to date women that look a lot like her.

Cindy Crawford: I have cellulite, but screw it, I want to wear a bikini

fp_3368857_ang_crawford_cindy_080509

Cindy Crawford is the cover girl for September’s Redbook Magazine, and I couldn’t believe what Cindy’s promoting… her home accessories line at J.C. Penney! I had no idea Cindy sold linens and things. But some of this stuff looks nice… and she even decorated her own house with stuff she designed (Redbook has a photo spread of the collection in Cindy’s home). In the interview, Cindy comes across as mostly blah – I think she’s probably a very nice woman, but she’s never really fascinated me. She mostly talked about her kids, being married, her life as a wife and mother. Her life seems pretty charmed. Alas, she does not talk about how her husband Rande Gerber and George Clooney are BFFs. That is what I would love to know about – mainly because it seems like George has a little crush on his best friend’s wife. Just my opinion! The complete interview is here, but these are some of the highlights: 43-year-old Cindy has cellulite, she doesn’t really care about the paparazzi taking bad pictures of her, her daughter doesn’t think modeling involves skill and Cindy’s cooking:

Cindy on body image: “I have cellulite,” she says, laughing. “I admit it. But sometimes I just say, ‘Screw it, I am going to wear a bikini.’”

Partnering with J.C. Penney to create Cindy Crawford Style: “It’s my take on home fashion. The whole concept is to help women discover their own livable, comfortable style by offering versatile pieces that are updated classics. And it incorporates what Penney’s does so well, which is quality and value. I love the idea of home as your sanctuary, as the place that tells a story about you — and how individual that is for every person.”

First big design purchase: “When I moved into my first apartment in Chicago, I went to a store where you could pick the shape and the fabric of the sofa. I was so excited; it even had a pullout bed for guests. But when they delivered the couch, it didn’t fit around the corner in the entry, so I had to get an upholsterer to cut off one of the arms. It didn’t look totally weird, but it was good reminder that you have to measure everything. Still, I ended up moving that sofa to New York with me to two more apartments and had it recovered. It was a good couch.”

Cooking: “I am not a fine chef, but I can certainly get dinner on the table for 14 people. With that many, I try to keep it simple: salmon, mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, and salad. For sure, I do the desserts. I make a coconut cake, which is actually easy, and a carrot cake, which my husband loves so much we had it for our wedding cake. If I want to get on his good side, I make that cake. The hard part is that I use white chocolate in the frosting and you have to melt it and introduce the other two ingredients, sour cream and cream cheese. The timing is crucial; otherwise the white chocolate can start coagulating and you get chunky frosting — which, by the way, still tastes good. Last night, Presley and I had a pie contest. He made strawberry rhubarb — I gave him my recipe, but I didn’t touch his pie — and I tried a new one: peach blueberry. And I said, “We won’t tell who made what, and we’ll have a vote.” And his pie won. I was outbaked by my 10-year-old!”

On the difference between everyday beauty and camera-ready beauty: “I always say even I don’t wake up looking like Cindy Crawford! What people see on magazine covers is one moment that was perfect — the wind, the light, the hair, the makeup. That’s a two-hour process. People get excited that they’re meeting the Cindy Crawford from the Playboy spread 13 years ago, and I am a mother of two now. I have to check in with myself. It’s good to have an awareness of that outside pressure; I can’t let it get to my core. I love my life.”

Cindy on date nights: “We do have date nights. It sounds a little cheesy, but that’s what it is — time for the two of us. We recently went to see The Hangover. My husband just lost his father so he really needed that kind of movie. It was an escape. The kids go to bed at 9, and we also have that hour and a half at night before I go to bed, although in the summer the kids want to stay up later. I remember being a kid in summer and having the whole summer ahead of you. I want them to be able to stay in their pajamas all day if they want. That’s what summer is for. But we’re still figuring out bedtime, because I want that time alone with my husband.”

On her kids’ dream jobs: “I hope they are kind and respectful and can function in this world and still be individuals, not necessarily leaders but not followers. I hope they can incorporate what they’re passionate about into whatever their job is. Presley has an adult friend who is a Navy SEAL, and right now he wants to be that. My daughter says she wants to be a singer and a dancer, but — and the way she said this was so cute — she might model first because you don’t have to have any special skills. And then she wants to end up being a teacher. That’s an interesting career path; we’ll see how that works out for her.”
