Morgan Stewart McGraw: Boobs and Loubs (FBF)

Morgan Stewart shares a candid and insightful look at her personal style, relationships, and life evolution. She champions minimalist, practical clothing—like classic tees, jeans, and sneakers—emphasizing that timeless basics are more sustainable and comfortable than fleeting trends. Her fashion choices are rooted in functionality, comfort, and authenticity, such as wearing her Gen Z sneakers for convenience and embracing her husband’s style without trying to match it exactly. Morgan highlights the importance of emotional balance in her marriage, where mutual respect and shared values outweigh control or perfection. She reflects on personal growth, including overcoming past struggles with learning disabilities and stepping away from high-pressure public life to embrace self-compassion. She critiques social media trends and the performative nature of fashion, advocating for genuine self-expression over curated images. Morgan also shares her values around relationships and celebrations, favoring intimate, meaningful experiences—like her small, relaxed wedding—over large, obligation-based events. Her upcoming show will explore the deeper, more empathetic aspects of her identity, revealing a more grounded, self-aware version of herself. Through this journey, Morgan exemplifies how authenticity, self-reflection, and intentional living can transform both personal style and relationships.

What is up daddy gang, it is your founding father Alex Cooper with call her daddy daddy. Morgan Stewart welcome to color daddy. Thank you so much. I'm so excited. I am so excited to have you here. You got your start on rich kids of Beverly Hills. Yes, I did. Shout out. Yes. You transitioned to host multiple shows on E. Multiple. Yes. You have impeccable style. Thank you. And you make it look effortless and achievable. You're the kind of person that I'm like screenshotting and trying to like remake it. Good. I don't ever remake it well, but like you're the inspo. I like that. How did you pick your outfit today? I'm very gentle. I'm in my Gen Z feelings today. So this is the first time I've ever worn these shoes and I bought them because I was like I need to be I'm a mother now. So I need to be able to wear things that are convenient to running around. And I was like I'm never going to wear them. And then I was like you know what today is the fucking day. I'm putting them on and then I had these pants. They don't actually look good on me. But I always this is my feet. They don't. The pleats in the front make me look like like they're warping my thighs inward. But I will tell you I am very big on everything I buy. I make sure to wear it once even if it was the wrong choice. If I have not returned it, I always want to make sure that I've at least put it on my body. So it's not a waste. And that's really how this all happened. And then I was going to wear a navy turtle neck. Oh, do we have enough time to look at all this bullshit? Yeah. I was going to wear a navy turtle neck and it read too dark. So then I grabbed this and then I was like is this too much like a teacher? That's how it came together. And I just left. I'm just geeking because I'm so happy your shoes are clean because this is a disaster set when people come on with the dirt. Can't have it. I was also going to tell you they are they have happened in the world. I have never had someone go into that much detail when I asked them that question and I actually appreciate it. I like to give you an experience. How do you describe your style? Oh, it's classic with a little bit of a flare. I don't get into the trends. I try to avoid it. I've been able to get into the trends lately because my husband has more accessible income. So I can like fuck up more. I love this. But if you are on a budget, you should be buying a white and a black t-shirt, two pairs of jeans, black and blue, a black blazer, a beige blazer and like keep it moving. Don't get into the like croppy tops. If you have to replenish your closet a lot, don't do that. Just go with the basics. Just go with the basics because they never, ever, ever, ever, ever leave. That's why they're called classic. Like getting into the like Barbie, Barbie stripper vibe right now. I can't do it. So you're just taking your husband's credit card. Oh, yeah. Well, no, I have my own his account. Oh, love that. Oh, no, I'm putting your own money. No, ladies, this is no, no, I'm not. I gave two children to this person. Two in one year and one day apart. Okay. I mean, it was super woman. Yeah. It was a lot. But it was amazing. The best thing I've ever done. And so you earn this. I've earned it. And I will tell you because I get on this tangent. And I'm always like, I'm not that it is still a little bit strange for me because I'm somebody that has my own money. I'm still getting paid out at E. Shout out. Shout out. So I really, you know, a part of me is like, well, I could just pay for this. But I just feel like. Let him let him. Right. Let him. Yeah, you go have a kid. Exactly. Exactly. What is a current fashion trend that you love? Even though I know you said you don't like trends. If you had to pay. I think the sneakers right now. I feel like sneakers are really big. I feel like girls are wearing them all the time. And that's something that I'm getting more into. That's, that's what I like. Are you into the dad sneakers like the new balance? I am. And by the way, I had those like in the seventh grade. Things always come back. It's crazy. But I haven't gotten a pair. They've been hard to find. I got one pair recently. And someone that I work with complimented me on them. And I was ecstatic. Because I didn't really know. Like I'm sometimes like just going with it. Like I think this looks good. But I didn't really know for sure. And then I put them on and like let within an hour someone complimented me on them. And I'm like, oh my god. I'm in the right lane. I know what I'm kind of doing. I'm happy. These are back. They never left for me. Doesn't matter. Whatever year I'm obsessed with an hug. And I will do like an hug to the knee to the knee. I'll do it. Oh yeah. Do you ever get rid of yours? Never. Thank God. I had to get rid of one black pair. Because they were really. They had seen the light of day. It was like disgusting. Yeah. I had the sand color when I was in seventh grade. Yeah. I had to throw them out because they were to the knee. And they were just at that point brown. Brown. So it wasn't as cute. But the uggs when people are like, they're so ugly. No, they're not. And they're comfortable. Amazing. And even like the super crop ones with the platform now I'm trying to get my hands on those, but I can't find them. I just got a new closet. I just moved just in my new house. Okay. And I've heard that you're the queen of organization. I am really. I've become. I need like a little tip for all the girlies listening and for myself. What is an organization tip that you have? That's just a good go to remember when we're trying to organize our closets. Organize your closet based on season. So now I'm transferring summer things out. It's I don't care what anyone says California. We still have seasons. Yeah. It's fall. No linen. No, even my son was in linen yesterday. I was like, Oh, no, Chris. No, no linen. He's not in linen anymore. It's. How old is your son? Eight months. But why are we in the linen joggers? He has new like sweat joggers. Who put them in linen joggers? My name. I was like, no, Chris. No, we can't do that. So you had to be like, listen, we're not in season. No, we're not in season. No, linen. Do you like how your husband dresses? I do. Oh, this is such a question. Okay. So I really love the way my husband dresses. I will say, and I a sign of a mature relationship and how I've grown is I also do not control it. He can wear what he wants. I don't have the energy to change things. We are not stylistically completely on the same page, but I appreciate what he wears because it works for him. The transition work. Why are you asking me everything that's going on in my life? The things that we transition out. It's the transitioning from day to night where I would like it to be a little bit more formal, but we're having a hard time finding that happy medium because he still wants to be himself. And I'm like, but just wear the crew next sweater and the jacket. Right. But does he get annoyed by you and you try to tell him what to do? Like, it's not a conversation. And he's like a silent, strong person. He's not a loud, strong person, which is scary. I know. Because I'm like, oh, he's like, has this power over me, but nobody usually does. Yes, but I do like it. Is that normally in your relationships that you usually have the power? Oh, yeah, usually like dominate and like and completely like, you know, I overpower people, but I feel like the people that have been in my life in the past that I did have always somewhat wanted to, we've, they've almost wanted to be like me. Does that make sense? In a way, like I exude like a strength that I think is appealing to males. And then they're like, whoa, this is maybe too much. But with my current husband, I don't need to do that because we're just really balanced. That's really interesting. I can relate to that. At first, they're so attracted to it. And then they get in the relationship with you. And then it's a full for sure thing. And that's when they get the most insecure. But in the dating phase, they love it. And then you settle down. And it's like, it's the same thing as when girls are like, wait, why did you like when I posted bikini photos when we weren't fully exclusive? But now that we are, you're like all scared of going and running and liking other girls bikini photos, like, pick a fucking lane. Pick a lane. Okay, so the husband dress is to your liking. Yes, he does. But you could elevate a little bit. I would, I wouldn't even elevate it. I would transition small things. And I'm only talking about it night. So mine is kind of the opposite, which is so strange. My boyfriend, I've never dated a man like this, has the best taste. Oh my god, it's so nice, right? He really knows how to dress. Okay. And he really understands design. Like we just redid our house. And he was like, we don't need to get that big of a designer. Cause like, I know what we need smart. And it's, it's like shocking to be, if anything, it makes me insecure. Because I'm usually the one, the guys that I've ever dated. I'm like, I don't give a fuck what you think I'm wearing this relationship. I'm like, okay, he has better taste. And I have to accept that. Which is honestly, that's so smart. Because I feel like my husband like accepts it. But doesn't think our taste is as different as it is. Even though it's not, I think that's a, you're like, it's so fucking different. It's shout out. You're listening to me. It's, it's very, it's, that is very smart of you. Cause it's so nice to have that. Right. Just accept it. Yes. Someone's going to have better style and taste. Mm hmm. Lean into that. Totally. Rather than try to just totally equal. It's not everything has to be equal in a relationship. I agree with you. Okay. Good. Yes. What is your take on matching your children's outfits? Is mommy and daughter going to be wearing the same thing? And are your children going to be wearing the same thing? No, and no. Okay. Absolutely. Fucking not. Like, you don't have friends. Like, you don't need to dress your kid like to you. Like, you don't, didn't you do that when you were in seventh grade? No, my, my mother, she made my sister and I wear the same things for like Christmas. But that, that is also like a traditional thing. And I feel like that's also that was our parents generation. I feel like that's, like I get the Christmas photos and you're in the little blue dress or whatever. Do you send out a holiday card? Oh my god. I haven't, but I guess I'm going to this year. Why? Because I feel like I should do that. It's like in a much, it's a mature, nice thing. It's like a way to send a photo of your family with like it being in line with it being appropriate. Like it's fun. It's an excuse to get a photo out of you guys. Right. So yes, I will send a holiday card out. I did not send one last year. Are you going to be figuring out the outfits? Yes. Okay. Wait. I did a photo shoot with my kids and they did wear the same outfit. I forgot. But can I tell you they were leggings? They were, he was like three months old and she was however old she was. And it was, they were in like beige leggings at a long sleeve shirt. Like it was like pajamas. It wasn't, and we were all in beige. My husband's still mad at me about it. Everyone's in beige. I never have my kids match. Oh my god. But by the way, it wasn't like, it wasn't supposed to be a fashion statement. They were just supposed to blend in if that makes sense. I get that. Okay. Just you wanted your kids to blend in because you wanted to stand out. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. That's good. Do you think your daughter is going to have the same personalities? Yeah. How are you going to deal with that? I don't know. She already brings me to my knees. She really is so strong. You can really tell about, you can tell who's going to be the fucking loser. Who's not going to have friends. I'm kidding. I'm so kidding. Her friends, I'm like, oh, Dork. No, I'm sorry. By the way, it's hilarious because every mom thinks that. Every mom analyzes it. But I will say, I think that I can tell she's extremely sweet inside genuinely. And I'm not saying that because she's mine. And then there is a side that's quite fierce and and strong will. So I do I think we're quite alike where do you think you got that from you know my parents I feel like I'm very much like my mom, but she's less crazy and less like she's crazy in her own way But not as out outward as I am she's a little bit more conservative a little bit more dialed back Did you get in trouble in school at all? So this is so weird because every person I've ever been interviewed by in this context Has always asked me that and always asks my mom that and I never got in trouble. I was never late for curfew I never it was only in my early 20s that it was a little messy because I was kind of in love and dating the wrong person and by dating Like I was dating him. He was not dating me. I was like well, I'm coming over. He's like no and I was like no I'm coming over and that's when I think my mom called me a few times because I was like you know I had been in college and then I left college and she was like what the what the where we go in here What the fuck are you doing? I think why people probably ask you that is because I think you have this very like outspoken confident nature about you that I would see you as the person in class telling the teacher that he had the answer wrong So you were just not like I was not like that but I also struggled like intensely in school I had a really hard time. I definitely had like severe learning disabilities that were not diagnosed to like my senior year of high school It was like she's failing math every year. What's wrong? Let's ignore it and keep her going and then in senior year They're like you're not going to graduate so I had to go do a night school and pass the class I had to see a math psychologist because I had such a bad learning disability So I couldn't I didn't to be honest with you. I don't know how I know how to spell So I could never I was not like that so I kind of just shut my mouth as much as okay That makes sense. Yeah, like you weren't confident in that aspect. So like I'm just gonna sit here and listen right But then outside of the school doors you're like running shit exactly like the playground you're thriving. Oh, yeah Where the desks are exactly that makes a lot of sense. Yes, and I think that's great for your career Also that worked out exactly great personality. Thank God. Okay. What is a hot take that you currently have? I know you had a show on e obviously it necessary realness Are you sad it's done? No, I just think that's a stupid decision anyone could have made I mean literally like the duck like you you know how many people do interview how many people really impress you Good talent is hard. Oh, it's very hard and and somebody being manufactured by like whatever circumstance They're around that makes them popular doesn't mean that they're oh they kicked you off. Oh, they ended the shows They ended the shows they put an end to nightly pop daily pop and they were like we're gonna sunset necessary illness I will tell you Necessary realness was like my little show. I love doing it. I love the people that worked on it I definitely was it's not a negative because I it was time for me to go and figure out what I really want to do But are they coming up with new shows to replace you guys? I have no idea They're doing an e-news reboot So they're re they're bringing back the show that they got rid of five years ago. Oh, that's on just relevant Uh-huh, and so that they're doing that. I don't know and beyond that I don't know but I will tell you I saw psychic when I was redoing my contract last year And he said I would sign this deal. You're not going to be in it for the remainder of the time you've signed up for And I would they work pretty news Maybe your psychic is low-key working Psychic has told me things you he told me that I was gonna name my son with a gene name I was like yeah right Gary who the fuck has a gene name. There's no way like there's no possible way my son's gonna have a gene name And it's great and it's great. It's a good name. Yeah, it's a good name, right? It took a long time the psychic's number. Oh, I'll give it to you he is he will Change your life. No, it's like not it's like he's a medium. It's no joke. Where you sad the day it happened I was emotional because I had been with everybody for so long, but I genuinely I had done six years of five a.m. Work out wake-ups. I was doing at one point the most I was doing four shows a day. I mean I I worked like It's not physically possible or sustainable to work the way I worked I'm grateful for the experience, but I was I was it was a mutual feeling of yeah Okay, it's time to move on. I had been feeling like I had hit the ceiling there Was it affecting your relationship or anything? It wasn't affecting my relationship with my husband now It wasn't no it was fine. He knew I wanted to do this, but also we were in the pandemic So the last few years hadn't been consistent and then I also had two babies in two years So I like it was it was the perfect time to to part ways wow yeah I have so much respect for how you manage that show because you kept it so real and I think sometimes on tv Especially those formats can come off a little like scripted and stuffy and just like a little like uh Do I believe that's actually her personality and you were like fully able to be yourself Which is great and they did the good job with that because they had to edit out quite a bit to keep it safe too a little bit That's great. That's great. So shout out to this shout out. Thank you. Yes. What is a hot take? Let's pretend we're on the show What is a hot take that you currently have so it's hilarious because my PR sent me this like that was a question Yeah, what's a hot take? So I asked my agent. I was like what is a hot take like what is it she goes well hot take I have is that you can be friends with your ex Everyone's friends with their exes and I was like I'm gonna steal that and I'm gonna credit you I always credit people by the way. I never take someone's fashion. Nothing. I always great. Well, you can't you'll get canceled Yeah, by the way And I then was really thinking about it and I was like no you can't wait no you can't no you can't she was like I'm gonna read you the quote read me the fucking quote because I'm gonna do a whole episode on this. No, you can't because only if you are in a new relate if you're in a relationship If you're single, sure be friends with all your fucking exes Also, I by the way, I was gonna pull it up and I was like it's so much, but just read it The reality is is that if you're so able to be friends with your ex then why are you breaking up? Right, okay, so I said that I think there are a lot of factors that go into make literally my homework Do you love it? I think there are a lot of factors that go into making a relationship work and making someone your person your long term partner I have a laundry list of reasons I am not with exes, but there are definitely a lot of reasons I like them in the first place that still exist the majority of people on this planet are people You will not have a connection to not have any chemistry with and so when you find someone you actually connect with That's rare and wonderful and just because it doesn't work out romantically for you Why does that mean those people should be out of your life completely? Let's talk about this. It's no fucking way. Okay, tell me your take on that I don't think it's first of all I don't what you said I think is accurate I think you cannot be friends with an ex unless you were not ever in love with them And you didn't share a genuine romantic connection because if you're walking away from the relationship So easily and able to revisit then why separate at all? No, I completely agree I think I've had relationships where I'm like oh like like one of my college boyfriends I'm like, oh like he was so cute and like I just walked all over him and I feel bad for that and like he's such a good guy Yeah, and like if I ever saw him we'd be totally chill. I'm not texting him absolutely not that's so strange I don't know why do you want if you want to be friends with him you probably want to be in their lives for other I just don't I but it works for her There's no like but I agree with the this sentiment of like I don't hate everything about them Of course not, but you take that with you and you move you move along you move along you don't need to be Marinating over there in that like ooh like I love this part of him So I want to like keep it keep it going in my life exactly well I think that if you're single you can absolutely be friends with ex I would say Be cautious about that though because then you're not moving forward and you may just keep going back in the awful cycle However, the minute you get a new partner the only way to be able to have like a healthy relationship Is to move on from your past relationships. Oh great. Someone that's been inside you or you've been inside them or putting something in whatever Yes, I get it. Let's just move on move on you can totally respect agree But it doesn't need to be a texting buddy buddy. Let's get lunch every week. Okay, but didn't I get I did my homework because that's a hot take right I got us, but yeah, did you do your homework for this question? What was the next question because I was wasted for four days last week What are the questions we where were you again?

I We are I will not to get too crazy and deep. We are like kindred spirits through life Have you had the opposite before even if it wasn't like an absolute mother-in-law like not bad I've never had a bad relationship with anybody's mother, but definitely not to this level Yeah, cuz I've had like the the Sun mommy dynamic where it's a little too incestual that you're like do you want to fuck your mom or me? Yeah, I can't that's not the guy for you. I can just know it does not work. It doesn't work at all It's it's so it's such a turn off all so sexually. Yes, and it's like oh you have to call your mommy every couple hours like Get it together and that's and that's That's something I have to think about with my son. He's got a sweet spirit so I might need to smack it out of him soon, but he's adorable. They're good kids. And they've got great names, so they're immediately cool by association, also you, the whole thing is going to work for them. Thank you. Okay. You have discussed pop culture and celebrities for years, so I'm interested to know who would be your celebrity hall pass. John Mayer. Was that too fast? John Mayer. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Really? Yeah, my husband knows. I, when I was single for a little bit, I was like, I'm going to go out with John Mayer. I guess that did not, did not happen. Have you ever met him? Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Oh, still did not happen. Oh, no, I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm moved on now. What about? I feel like I'm fine. He's a Libra. My husband's a Libra. I get along with Libras. I was like, oh, he would total. If he's had two hours with me, he would fall in love with me. Nope. Not, not even a little. Not for a second. What about him? Do you love? I, I don't know. I think he's hot. I think he's just got the whole thing down. I'm into it. I love that he's just like mysteriously moving through every single person you've ever met. Ever. Except me. I'm fine. I'm just saying. That's why he's a Libra. I'm here. Yeah. And would your husband be okay with it? Oh, no, absolutely never. Oh, okay. No. No, we're not. We're like totally close. We're like, yes. But, you know who his is? Who? I feel like he's also more quiet about his hall passes, which is like the ones you always have to watch out for. Like the people that vocalize their desires are like it's on the table. He's like, oh, she's she's pretty. Shot the fuck up with she's pretty. Who says she's pretty about any person in their life? No one. Unless you're in love with them. Right. There you go. Who's he? I'm going to call. Who the fuck? Yeah. Wow. Okay. So he's made little comments. Yes. I'm trying. I guarantee you when I leave, we're just going to do this again. Because when I leave, I'm going to be like, oh, he likes blah, blah, blah. He thinks Kim's hot. He's wrong. You think Kim is hot. She is like, she is a really beautiful. I've never seen her in person. I've heard she's it's like looking at the sun. You can't stare too long. She's it's like she's stunning. This is very beautiful and was always very beautiful. I agree. That's why this works as well as it does. I agree. I agree. Wow. Okay. So Kim, for your husband and you, John Mayors. Yes. What a fun. Yeah. Couple night. Yep. You guys should just do it all together. There you go. You. Oh, yeah. What's the most memorable interaction you had when you met a celebrity? I mean, it's so it's not as fun as it should be because it was on Zoom. But I guess I, it's, it's split. They're my highlights. Rihanna. I went in to do a interview with her for Fenty Beauty and it was sort of like you were in a waiting room in Zoom and then I opened the camera up and those are very stressful. And doing things over the internet are very stressful. You want to be able to meet someone, be able to do a little small talk, right? And she was like, oh my god, Morgan, I loved you on Rich. Could you were so funny? And I literally, I like was seven and a half months pregnant and I like peed a little bit. It was literally, I was like so excited and I couldn't hold my labia tight because they was like, flowering open at that point. And that's what happened. And then George Clooney was also so fucking lovely and like a movie star. So those two, the bigger the star I've realized, the nicer they are. Really? Oh yeah. Really? Because you've already achieved that level of success. You just want good, normal, nice people around you to treat you like a human being. You're not insecure. You're not climbing. Jen Aniston. Really nice. I mean. Never met her. I've just heard. Just saying. I, and I love her so much. So much. You're just, I can't handle it. I, I can't. But you know what? I don't think that pertains to the James Cordenace show. By the way. That was a bit. I've heard. I've heard. We've heard. So there was a lot of news. I love. I feel like now I'm doing like the Nightly Pop Show. Yay. But I never usually cover pop culture. But James Corden, which is one thing I just do not fuck with is news came out that he is the biggest fucking asshole to waiters and Balthazar, a very famous place in New York City. That's just like the best French place to go to. I guess he was just like a fucking dick to the waiters and they banned him from going there. Yep. And I don't fuck with that. I don't fuck with that ever. You are not better than anyone. I agree. And I agree. How dare you be rude. How do you get to that point? And how does it stay quiet for so long? I feel like if I'm rude to anybody, it's everywhere in two minutes. Oh, not to make myself that big. But I do feel like it spreads around. I don't know if it's a male versus female thing. I hate to go there. Right. Because you're a bitch. She's never going to be called a bitch. No. She's going to be called an asshole. An asshole. But now he apologizes in his unbanned in two minutes. Like you're rude to. He's not just rude to waiters. He's rude. I allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. You actually are a person that's not polite to other people. It's just especially when you hear the status of someone, like you have such privilege and such access and just be so grateful and gracious to people around you because be happy for what you have. Agreed. And be fucking nice. And especially when people are rude to waiters. I'm like, you're disgusting. Disgusting. But that's really interesting. Take that the bigger the celebrity, the nicer they are. In my experience, I think, which James Corden not be. Yeah. But he's not even as big as. I don't think he's that big. character. I have a harder time with that. I'm really open and vulnerable upon meeting people and then I'm like fuck. Why did I do that? Shit, I don't trust you. I don't like you. And then I have to back pedal. He's very good at like balancing me out. He's every time I'm in a bad mood or don't feel good about something he can talk me off the ledge. I'm working on being able to do that for him because he's like, if he gets upset about something, I'm like, don't worry about it. And it's like, no, you have to validate someone's feelings, which I talked about my therapist. She was like, no, you can't. You have to also make them feel because I'm like, get in the game. We're fucking fine. Charge through it. And he's like, can you just like be in my feelings with me? I'm like, oh, feelings. You're like, oh, right, right. He's feelings. But yeah. Oh, wow, that's really interesting. So when he needs a cry, you're like, fuck up. I'm working on it because that's how I've been. Yes, I'm sweet. I validate, but we also think the exact same way about 90% of things. So nice. Anything we watch on TV, anything we see, any, we have the exact same immediate reaction at the same speed, which is very rare. That is so rare. Yeah. And I think that when that happens, you got to hold on to it. That's why we came back around. When you guys had children, was there anything that completely shifted in your relationship? No, I think we were really, really, really on the same page about making sure that our relationship was a priority, and we couldn't be completely only centered around our children. So smart. You have to do that. Or you just will not survive at all. Because there's always something to do. There's always something to fix. There's always something to talk about. And at one point, we did have to peel back on getting the house like in order and having the right people around. And he finally at dinner was kind of like, you need to learn to stop talking after people leave. You need to just relax and enjoy your life and stop worrying about things that can't be changed right now. Because I am such a doer. I want to get things fixed immediately. He's like, you just can't. Oh, that's nice. I feel calmer from hearing his words. Yeah, it is. I think I'm a little like that. Like just a little much. Yeah. And my boyfriend's always like, how about you just like calm down? Yeah. When they do that, now I don't get upset when, because if another boyfriend in the past would say that, he'd be like, shut the fuck up. Yeah. But now I know my partner's coming from a good place. Exactly. So it's healthier. Yes. I brought you here to talk about weddings. Okay. Okay. Because I've never really talked about them on my show. Okay. You've had two. I've had two. All the experience you need. So first of all, the first time around you at your wedding, it was a big, elaborate wedding. Yeah. One 150 people. Yeah. How did you decide to have a big wedding? To be honest, that's not even that big. It's not. It's not even that big. I feel like now, like, I feel like a big wedding is three people. Two or fifty three hundred people could never do it. And I never do. And I never do. Never do that. Because that's because your parents have a lot of friends and they want them there. That's not because of you. It's not about my parents. It's about me. Exactly. Exactly. Okay. So you had a small, how did you decide to do a COVID wedding? Because I know a lot of people push those back. It was just, I didn't want to do a whole thing again. I really, it was about the two of us. I knew that it was the right, right situation and we just wanted to do it. Really people are like, oh, you were praying. Nothing to do with that. I even at the point where we're dating, I was like, if you don't want to get engaged right away, like, I don't mind. I mean, I'm happy to just do this with you because I knew Ro happened the first time anything happened. The first time. Wait until you're saying the first time you guys had sex. I ever had unprotected sex. I got pregnant. Holy shit. It was bananas. We're even trying. Not even for, I was wasted on my birthday. We had unprotected sex. I was like, I can just pop a pill for that. I was like, nothing's going to even happen. I mean, you hear stories that it takes months and months and months. I knew that when I made the decision to have the unprotected sex in my drunken state, I was like, if this were to happen, which it's not going to, I feel confident enough with this person being the person who's going to be the father of my child. That's great. But it was fucking nuts. Four weeks to the day, I was positive on a pregnancy test. It was wild. I was like, what? Yeah, when you took the pregnancy test, where you, like one day late, and I was like, it's positive. And then I took 30 more. And then what did you do? You just had a conversation with Jordan and you were like, fine, I'm like, we're just going to have a baby. And he was fine. And he was fine. And he was thrilled. We wanted it. I just didn't think it was going to happen. Totally. Like at that timeline. That's why, because I think weddings, like I'm interested by your smaller wedding versus bigger wedding, because I think a lot of people feel so much pressure to like have the big wedding or have all these people there and have the time. I feel like when you do that, it's for other people. It's not even for the people getting fucking married. It's for all the family members to like fulfill a need of theirs, whether it's like to show off or validation or just see all their fucking friends. Do you have any advice for anyone that's like trying to figure out like what kind of wedding they want? I think the idea for a big wedding is really, if that's something you want, I don't think you should be ashamed by that. I think you should go for it. I definitely think you should think about who you're genuinely going on the friend side. Family is more obligatory. You have to invite certain family members. I think on the friend side, do you really feel like this couple is going to be there for 10 years in down the road? Because it's also like, well, we like her, but we don't like him. And it's kind of like you need to really just make sure that you're not inviting people to invite them. I completely agree. And I feel like that happens a lot of times I've seen people out there weddings and they're like, I feel like I haven't even talked to anyone that I care about. Like, oh my god, where have you guys been the whole night? Oh, and I think that's sad if you don't get to enjoy your actual wedding, which I'm interested to know, like, so you enjoyed your smaller wedding? I preferred it. And I'm not just saying that because it's like my current husband, I genuinely felt relaxed. I felt happy. I didn't feel exhausted. I was able to enjoy soaking it. I remembered the meal we had. I remember the cake. I remember the photos. Like, it's really about celebrating the two of you. It's in, I don't care how much money you have. We could have had the biggest wedding in the world, but it's like we didn't want to spend that time small talking with other people. I love it. Also, bridesmaids. Let's quickly talk about it. Oh, god. Do you think they're going out of style? What is your? Yeah. It's really dated. It felt dated when I got married the first time. I just, and like most of the girls that I, oh my god, I can't remember six. Oh, wow. I mean, I speak to most of them, but like, it's just not, it's just having girls stand up there with you. It's, it's, I would avoid it. Were they all wearing the same dress? Yes. I know. I know. I know. I know. Listen, if people are listening and you want to have a bridesmaids, that's totally fine. I just think you shouldn't feel pressured to because you're supposed to like have that many people standing up there with you. Get up there alone, bitch. Exactly. Do your thing. And also you have to wait for all those bitches to walk down. It's not. It takes too long. Ceremony under 15 minutes. Quick. It should be nine minutes. Let's talk a little bit about reality TV for a second. Let's do it. You were on, like I said, the show, Richcase of Beverly Hills. Yes. Which, I mean, what a name. What a name? What a name for a show. It was insane. Looking back. Yes. Were you playing a character? No, I wasn't playing a character. I was just a younger version of who I am now and I don't, I don't relate to that person as much anymore. Okay. No, I wasn't, I wasn't playing a character. I definitely felt like maybe I was more turned up in moments and like there were storylines we had to fulfill because it is ultimately no matter what they follow reality, but you have to it's inbellish. You have to make like gray areas pop. You have to refill them things. So yeah, it was a job. Let's put it that way. Okay. So it wasn't a full character, but you were kind of when you look back, what do you like and dislike about that? I didn't watch a lot of it, to be honest. I really, I put myself out there for other people to enjoy me or not enjoy me. It wasn't for me to sit back and be like, oh my god, you're on TV. So I'm real. And my interview looks were so bad. That was such an early start of glam that I had no fucking clue about. So it was just, it's tough to watch back. I get that. I can, I mean, even with my podcast sometimes I'm like, oh, these people are always like, oh, how do you feel that you've had like four years of just podcasting on the internet? And I'm like, not great. I mean, it's not great. Like I don't hate it, but I don't love it. There's certain things that I'm like, why did I say that? No, totally. Oh, no, by the way, I felt like I was way, I guess like bitchier, immature, insecure, just like, but what you are is like a younger version of yourself. That's what I feel like people have to understand. Like sometimes people look back at when you put your life on the internet or you're on TV and people scrutinize you for one thing. You're like, I was how old and now I'm like, I'm different. I'm a different person. And if you documented yourself at that age, hopefully you'd be a different person five years later also. Right. And hopefully look exactly. Okay, so you don't hate the character, but you just look back and you're like, I was just a little bit more aggressive. I was a little bit more aggressive and I wasn't as happy. You know what I mean? And I also hadn't had five years of therapy. How did you like filming that show? I liked it. I was definitely, I took it very much as like, this is a stepping stone. I had worked towards getting on the show, not that specific show, but a show in general. And I treated it very much like a job. Like I was on time to things like it was fun because I friends with them, but with the people on it, but it needed, it was a job. What are you like in a social setting when you're drunk? Give us like, allowed and very nice. Oh, I am like, we're going here. What about this? Oh my god, you told me you were interested in that. I get like high off of being able to be louder because I'm wasted. And then I am inviting you everywhere. We are going to Rome. And then I'm like, Oh, no, we're not. We're not going to Rome. Like I am like engaging. You're the person that meets people in the bathroom. And you're like, guys, come to the table. Yes. I love it. I'm that person. I've been I'm like an internal club rat, no matter how old I am. Like I just like love to talk to people, but then I also if I get cornered and I don't want to talk, then I have a serious psychobraked down. Okay, because I don't know how to, I don't know how to get out of the conversation. I was talking about that was something the other day where I was at an event and someone was stuck. And you just can see it. Like everyone can see it when you're in a social setting. And it's the nature of what happens. You start talking someone totally genuine conversation, whatever. But like, it's force because you guys don't really know each other. And it was just more supposed to be like a high hole. How are you? Like, oh, so good to see you here. And then you're supposed to keep flowing. But then all of a sudden, everyone else is in conversation and you're stuck with that person. It's like your partner for the night. And you I'm always with the partner for the night. And then I almost get I get so fucking crazy that I will be like, we're seeing it through now. We're fucking signed up for this. Keep telling me about your mom. What mental illness did she have? Oh, tell me about your parents divorce. When you were 12. Why the fuck am I in this deep? This is what happens. I get fucking blind and I keep going. I do too. And I'm down the tunnel and now I'm like, well, we can talk about this. Like here's my like my number like my number. I'll give you my therapy. Yes. We can get through this. Look at lunch. I'm like, I didn't even want to go to lunch. And it's not even like being fake. You're trying to make someone comfortable. You double down because you're like, why are you walking away? Right. Right. Just say, hi. How are you? And just I know a good host. I'm going to start to like implement that into my parties of like you guys have been talking a long time. And it's nothing mean. No. It's genuinely just like sometimes you don't need to have a conversation that long with someone. No. And you could just say, I got to go, but sometimes if the other person's not reading the queue, it can get a little awkward. Oh, my God. I've been there so many times. Exhausting. Because sometimes they really are excited to have the conversation. I know. And you're like, yeah, and there's other times where I want to talk for an hour to someone. Yeah. Don't get it twisted. Like it's usually not somebody you've just met unless it's you and I. You're all like guys. Yeah. Exactly. If someone can't shut the fuck up, but it's like a good can't shut the fuck up. Great. If someone's so self centered and just keeps talking about themselves in original. Do you even know my name? Yeah. Then that's where you want to. Yes. Yeah. I agree. What is a current social media trend that makes you cringe? Oh my God. All of it. I feel like the TikTok. I mean, I feel like I'm just I know shade to it. I love it. But I just cannot. I don't have the time. I don't know. I can't find. I'm like trying to do Beyonce cuff it. I'm trying to fucking figure it out. I'm trying to do that. And I can't. It shifts a lot every day. Every day. I can't even post on TikTok. I try. But like I just can't. I can't get it down. I can't get it down. Also like our photos just not good enough anymore. Like do you want me to take a video of me walking down the street and pretending like I don't know? Because I tried in Napa. You know what happened? It was horrific. Okay. It was. It was so bad that I was like, how the fuck does this? Who took the video for you? I have to. I said, you have to take a video of my outfit because I can't just get a photo. I need to do walking. He goes, okay, here. It was so much nose. It was so much. It was so bad. It's just I can't. You just knew. I think that's the thing that's awful is or even like the photos where we're trying to like pretend we're not looking. We know someone who is holding our own personal iPhone and taking the photo. And what has become cool about that? I'm doing it too. I'm like looking down, looking away. Like just look at the camera. What happened to this? I know the smiling at the photo. I saw him going to bring it back. That's what we should do. I should. I cannot keep pretending like, oh, there's a bird. Oh my god. Oh, and I'm looking down. It's been years of social media and I still have no fucking idea to take the photo. Yeah. Yeah. It's time. This is my photo. Yeah. Smiley happy. I feel much better. I'm not doing the pressure. I'm not doing anymore. Or just stare at the camera. Yes. We acknowledge. We know there is a husband or a boyfriend or a best friend or a mom or a grandma crouching to get the angle. Exactly. We acknowledge that. Exactly. I'm with you. I agree. Okay. Well, this is making me feel better. Yeah. Okay. When you wrapped your show after five seasons, your parting gift from your team was a book of some of your best quotes. What was your favorite quote from the book? It was something about like you not knowing your dad. What was it? It was like, if you're in a, if you're in heels by the pool, like you don't know your dad or something like that. Because really why, why are you in heels by the pool? Like, I don't, like, are you gonna, like, are you gonna slip and break your neck? Like, you were really trying for something. Like, you need to call someone else. If you're in heels by the pool, you don't know your dad. Yeah. And you have like a thigh tattoo that you regret. And like, you're in like a black zippery. Like, something that's uncomfortable for the labia to be in. We, what do you feel about the wedge or like the one with the, um, cork underneath essentially? Listen. It looks like a plank from Home Depot. Home Depot. Home Depot. I don't hate a wedge. It's a spiss, you gotta be specific about the wedge. But I like white or black. When things are in the gray, I have a very hard time. I spiral. Okay. I need things to be very clear. You're either my best friend or you're not my friend. I can't have you like, kind of be a friend to me. Whatever. I'm getting to the wedge part of it all. A wedge is the gray, right? Because you're not wearing it by the pool if you have any class. And you're not wearing it to dinner unless you're on vacation. So it's sort of a useless shoe. Unless that's your heel of choice, which like doesn't feel formal enough for me. How much time do I have to know all these opinions? It's kind of weird. No, this is good. This is good. So to me, I'm overwhelmed by the idea of a wedge because it's useless to me. But I bought a pair of wedge wedges over the summer. They had pom-poms on them. I was, I brought them on vacation and I never ended up wearing them. And so I wore them on my show one time. But like, a wedge just does not serve conducive to getting dressed. I agree with you. Yeah. I'm not wearing wedges with jeans. It's not 2008. Oh, no, no, no. No, I agree. They're not the cutest also. No, they're not the cutest. They're comfortable. Yeah. They're definitely comfortable. But like, you're not, they're not comfortable in the sense that like, I'm wearing them to Coachella. Right. Or that's scary. Who's wearing those to Coachella? Nobody. I hope nobody you're talking to. No, nobody. What did you think about the, what boot is in right now? The knee or above the knee or below? Like, what are we doing? I think to the knee or high up, I think they both work. An ankle, an ankle boot that's healed is, it's unacceptable. It's never, it never elongates. It never looks good. You're not doing yourself a favor. It doesn't look good on Irina fucking shake. If you have an ankle boot, return it. It is, I don't care if it's a sock booty and it's the most flattering version, it does not look good. It's cutting off your leg, whether your legs nine feet long or two feet long, they're awful. A black, suede ankle boot makes me want to clench my asshole and I can't. I think I owned one of those in college. I thought I was like rocking. And then there's like throw up on the side because you've walked through it. And then there's like a little chain to like zip it up. Oh, oh, Mama. Uh, uh, uh, uh. Okay, so when you, I love how I'm asking you fashion advice, but I think this can like help a lot of people like we're lost out here. Okay, so it's either to the knee or high. High, high to the point where you're not getting like if you're wearing a skirt, it's, it's the skirt is covering. Like, you want it to be extensive leather. Do you feel that looks hoist though? Like, no, no, it's not how wish because we are covering so skirt. So boot skirt. We don't want let we don't want this showing. We don't want an ounce of skin showing. You also not to confuse you can wear pantyhose under the thigh high boot and wear a booty short, like a leather booty short with a baggy sweater. That reads classy and cute. But if you're doing skirt, no pantyhose and boot that's showing trash horror disgusting, which by the way, I am the biggest trash horror, but I just not in terms of dressing. Okay, this is good. Yeah, it's, it's giving everything you're calling out is like Alex in college. Exactly. No, by the way, we all, we've all been there trust me. So if you're in college, do do that actually because you want to be a trash horror. Exactly. It's the best to be the trash horror. Exactly. But now I feel like people also like do these little tricks that they're like, why doesn't it look the same on me? And those little details are why it works on like the people, these girls are following. I got it. And so when you're doing a boot, though, and you're wearing long pants, yes, you just the pants go over the boot. Okay, yes. So if you're doing an ankle boot for that purpose, and it's covered, and you don't know, let's say I'm big you with in terms of the height, fine. But if you're doing, have you ever seen someone wear an ankle boot with a dress? Yeah. No, no stockings. Yeah, it's, it's just unacceptable. It's not making you look better in any way. Okay, so while we're wrapping up, because this is actually great, I never talked about fashion on color daddy, but I actually think this is fucking helpful because it really is. We need to learn for fall. Yes. What are some like go-to's we need to just be rocking, wearing, living in? I think it should always, everyone should have two oversized crew next sweaters. Two oversized crews? And I think you, I'm somebody that like believes in investing in like a higher priced item, even if you can't buy them a lot because you have them for five years. What's your go-to outfit for like a fun sexy date night? I always, all the shit and then I'm always like in a really fitted like skinny crop ankle gene with like a blazer of some kind and like a t-shirt underneath in a heel. Like that is like what I am comfortable in. That's what I go to. Skinny crop gene. Yeah, heel t-shirt. It should always be a little bit high on the ankle. High on the ankle. Not all the way down where you're like, no, it needs to be. We should have done a fucking vlog episode where I come over and try it on clothes. By the way, I'm ready. Maybe we do that. Let's do it. I'm ready. Cause like we need help. I am, those are daddy getting these help. You're like anytime. I can help. I can help you anytime you want. Okay. I want to know. Yeah. What are you doing next? Your show just ended. Show just ended. I'm in the process of working. I'll be very detailed with you right now. I'm working out a budget for a pilot. I'm going to shoot for a show idea that I've had for a really long time. And I'm not going to say exactly what the show is, but it is definitely something that I for years have just been like, I don't feel like my multi-layered self has been shown. There's always a version of who I am. There's like, there's a very empathetic, very nice side of me. I'm just going to talk all about how great I am. And generous. And I'm actually a pretty decent person. And somebody I've become that I started to really like after all the work I've done. And I feel like that doesn't get exposed enough. And so this show will interweave a little bit more of like the different layers of who I am. So are you have a reality show? It's not going to be reality. Okay. There will be snippets of reality, but it will not be reality. When you're saying that you've really come to like yourself. Yes. What is that evolution? I think that I've worked from like a lot on myself, especially in the last four years. And I've really like learned why I worked the way I did for so many years. And like ended up leaving relationships really in a sort of a messy place. And friendships in a messy place. And I just feel like I now understand certain things have happened to me over my life that I understand now why I operated that way. And now I'm moving away from that because I'm undoing all of that. And so I feel like I get to be a better version of myself. And so that version I would like to be out in the world more. And it's also hard to like self-produce yourself every day to post video. It's like it's a lot. I'm exhausted. I don't want to do that all the time. But I love that for you. Also so exciting. Because like you're now raising. children and just like the fact that you're feeling like you're the best version of yourself. Therapy, a godsend. A godsend. And I mean, I'm so excited for the show whenever it comes out. And I'm manifesting May. I think I'll be filming in May. Oh yeah, I've manifested everything in my entire life. Anything you want in your entire life. You can do it. You just say it. Anything. I'm gonna, oh I want, I'm gonna date him. Okay, except for John Mayer, everything is happened. Except for John Mayer, but honestly, I will be checking the news moving forward because I could see it happening now. Yeah, there is gonna be like all of a sudden, they allow a third into their relationship in the middle. One night for you with John Mayer. Oh my god, no, I love you. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Thank you so much for having me. So fun. The daddy gang's gonna love you and we're taking notes on the fashion advice. I love it. I'm coming back anytime. I love you. Love you.

FAQs

I believe in classic, timeless style with a touch of personal flair. I avoid trends and focus on basics like white and black tees, jeans, and blazers that never go out of style. I also value wearing clothing once even if it's not a perfect fit to ensure it's not wasted.

I love sneakers, especially New Balance, which I’ve worn since seventh grade. I recently bought a pair and loved when someone complimented me on them. I also enjoy high-top or knee-high boots, especially in leather, for a stylish yet comfortable look.

I organize my closet by season. I transfer summer items out and keep fall and winter pieces together. This helps me stay prepared for the weather and keeps my wardrobe simple and intentional.

No, I never match my kids' outfits with mine. I believe kids should have their own unique style and not be dressed to blend in. I just want them to feel comfortable and individual.

I believe you can be friends with an ex only if you were genuinely in love and had a real romantic connection. If you're still emotionally attached or walking away from a relationship, it’s hard to truly move on and maintain a friendship.

I wear a fitted skinny crop top, a blazer, a t-shirt underneath, and heels. I prefer a high ankle line so it looks balanced and elegant, and it’s comfortable enough for a night out.
