What to Expect When You're Expecting

at the moment, filming something. Okay, I think I think I know someone else who's filming at that undisclosed un Thank you so much for joining us today. I am so excited to meet you. I I want to talk about the episode last night, but first and foremost, congratulations on the pregnancy. It's so exciting. Are you feeling good? Are you any any type of side effects or symptoms or anything just yet? Um, other than just really adjusting

to the idea of being pregnant. I mean, I it's something that I wanted for so long that I feel like when I found out I actually was pregnant, I was really surprised. Um in a good way of course, but also like, I don't know, it took me a while to really absorb it. Um. And so yeah, I'm just really excited out. But I've been really lucky. I haven't had sickness or anything like that. Yeah, and so when I know you're in a relationship right now, it's been a little over a year with Christopher. Was this

something that you guys talked about. Did you want this on your plan? Yeah? Yeah, well we so he already he's got a six year old son already, so he's been a father for several years. And for me, when I began dating again, I knew, sorry, my dog is not going to leave me alone. I've been I've been out of the house all day, and he was so happy when I came back. Um, you might only sit

up here the whole time. Um. So when I uh started dating again, I knew that it was really important to me to find somebody who had the same goals and wanted the same things in life that I did. So we kind of got to the conversation about having kids and um where we stood with all of that really quickly. Um, and we were definitely on the same page. So we're like, hey, let's you know, let's go for it and just see what happens, and we were really lucky.

And so, yeah, I don't know how it lines up with filming and the months that you guys were filming this season. Did you have to keep it a secret for a bit? Were you fild me during that time? Um? Initially I did plan. I had planned to keep it a secret. I did tell the show runner because I was, you know, pretty run down the first few weeks, UM, and it was hard for me to keep up with the pace of some of the filming initially, so I had to tell her because they don't really let you

just set things out normally to go home early. UM. And you know, we filmed really long days. We filmed for I mean when we go on trips, we're filming for probably eighteen hours a day, three days in a row. So it's just a lot of you know, being on your feet and being really active and talking and participating. UM. And so I did let them know pretty early on. But my plan wasn't actually to to film anything about

being pregnant. And then our production just kept getting delayed for various reasons and it got to a point where it was too obvious to not address it UM and filming, so we ended up talking about it on there, but I think it ultimately was good that we did, because, you know, it's a really exciting, happy time in my life. And um, and I don't know, I just feel like it's kind of an interesting uh and to the ark of this season for me and my character on the show.

And um, yeah, I mean I'm really excited to share it with everyone. Were you planning on keeping the gender of secret? Because I saw that your sister accidentally kind of yeah, shared it. She did totally accidentally, and actually I didn't even know that had happened. And she called me the next day and she was like, I'm really sorry. I had no idea that you hadn't said anything. And I was like, what are you talking about. I don't even know what you mean. Um, I didn't intentionally not

share it, So it wasn't a big deal that she did. Um, but yeah, I don't know. I there's a part of me that just doesn't really feel the need to share like every single detail about it, even though I'm so excited, I feel pretty private in a lot of ways about it as well. So UM, I'm not. I mean, I'm happy that people. No, it's totally fine. It's such a positive response to everybody's just so thrilled for you, guys. I think that's so nice and it really makes me

feel good that you know. Also, I've been so blown away by how invested people are are in my whole journey over the last couple of years, and how many people realize how badly I wanted this to happen, and like are celebrating with me and are genuinely really happy. I mean, I've had so many nice messages from people just saying, like, I know, we don't know each other, but i feel like you're my friend and I'm just so happy for you, and that's really sweet. It makes

me feel really good. I've never met you before, but I'm a fan of the show. I'm a fan of yours and when I saw the headline last week that you were pregnant, I was so excited for you that I felt like one of my friends was pregnant. It was just it was so excited to read. I'm just so excited for you. Is there anything that you are nervous about when it comes to being a mom? I'm sure there's many a million things. Yeah. I mean I think that if I start to think about the things

that make me nervous. It would just be a runaway list. I mean, you can screw your kids up so bad with like the littlest things. I think, But you know, my I think, as long as your intention is good and you, um, you know, show your kids lots of love and respect, um, they're going to be okay. So that's just my plan. I'm trying not to overthink every little detail because there's just too much to think about.

I mean, even with my pregnancy, I try not to think about anything besides the week that I'm in, you know, because each week it's so different, and you know, it can be very overwhelming if if you think about it too much. And I like the fact that you are I mean somene of my business anyways, But keeping this relationship, you know a lot of it to yourself, just between the two of you, and not sharing everything that happens

and not being so public. After having a few very public relationships, it's just something that I think you guys can just hold close to yourselves and keep things private between yourselves. And I like that as a fan for you to be able to experience. I know you said in the past that this is one of the first adult you feel like it's an adult relationship that you've been in m and I just I love I love that.

My past relationships, I think the only reason they've been public is because the people that I ended up in relationships with and were already public figures. You know. I don't think that there was any reason besides that, because it certainly wasn't ever my intention for to be really anything public. But you know, just by the nature of those relationships and this this one, you know, it's not

that way, which is really nice. It's really refreshing, and um, I mean it certainly makes things a little bit less complicated because you're not I don't know, having to think about anyone else involved. It's like just the two of you, and um, it's just been really nice to have that experience this time around. Let's talk about last night's episode.

There's I've noticed a difference from the first season to this season, and in taking COVID and the pandemic out of it, there's been such a change with everybody really and I think it played a role in this new season. Do you see a big major difference between you in this in this new season compared to last season, UM, or anything you're doing differently this time around. I would just say that I think everybody in general had a

little bit of a different attitude. Well, there are a few people who seem to still have kind of a bad attitude about the show, UM, which I don't understand because I feel like, if you don't want to be on a show, then don't be on a show. But um, you know, I think for the most part, it was a really eye opening in the sense that, you know, we're so lucky to have work and be able to spend time with this group of people and have a good time like travel together and laugh together, and UM.

While I don't know, just being isolated was so hard, it was nice that we had the opportunity to, you know, get our COVID tests literally every other day, UM, but in turn be able to spend time with a group of people and make something entertaining for other people to watch. I don't know, I was just personally grateful to be able to participate in that UM and I definitely took it a little more for granted before you know, I mean, I I don't know, It's just there are a few

ways to look at making a reality show. And I think that, Um, the fact that anyone would want to watch our lives and that we're able to you know, make money doing that and have a good time doing it, It's just like it's kind of a freak, once in a lifetime opportunity, and I feel really fortunate. So when somebody is talking about this show and they say that the episode was the worst episode of reality TV they've ever watched, you know, Spencer and maybe these comments about that,

how how does that make you feel? As there as your cast members saying this about the show that you guys do together. I think everyone knows that, Spencer, And how do you always have an agenda? So I'm not sure what their agenda is at the moment, because they weren't singing that tune you know, earlier on. I mean, they're kind of the ones who got everyone together to

make this show in the first place. Um. And I also don't know why you would it's not a project that you just spent the last year and a half working on, because you know, I mean, there's a lot of work and a lot of time and a lot of energy, and so I don't really know what the whole reason, I'm sorry, trying to get on my lab when I put him down, and um, he was just licking the microphone. But yeah, I don't, I don't. I'm

not understanding that. And I I mean, I know that there is definitely um an issue going on between the Prats and the Wallers. Um as you can see, is unfolding on the show right now. And I don't know if they're more specific, more specific quickly aiming those comments at them, I don't really know, but it seems like, UM, not very productive to tell people that a show you're on is boring. One of my favorite moments from last night's episode was when you you're talking with Heidi and

you say what can we do to have fun? And she just completely ignores you walks off, and you're just like, oh, like you're trying to keep the energy good and positive and just have fun and she just walks off, and you, oh, was just yeah, I mean, I think what you what we didn't see there was you know, the whole conflict between Ashley and Heidi is still to this day confusing to me, Like I don't understand where it stems from exactly.

And you know, Ashley and I had that conversation in the park, which you only see a little portion of, but it was essentially, you know, from my perspective, I really they just thought there was a big misunderstanding between the two of them. I didn't know that Ashley was really having all of these pretty judgmental feelings about Heidi's drinking.

I I didn't know that because she didn't. I never heard her say anything about it, and when we were in the park she kind of explained it to me more like Heidi thinks I'm saying this, but I'm really not. And I was like, oh, well, if you're not, then just tell her you're not. And so then I saw Heidi at the party that night, and what they didn't show was that I said to her, Hey, I really think you and Ashley should talk because I think there's

just a huge misunderstanding here. I think that, you know, she doesn't really have any feelings about your drinking, and you guys should talk and make up and everything will be fine. I'm like thinking I'm being the peacekeeper and that everything's gonna be great, and I just wanted to have a good time. I mean, that was kind of me the whole season. I feel like every episode, I'm like, yeah, everybody's fighting. I just don't have a good time, like to have a good time. Um. So yeah, and but

I do. I actually remember saying not to Heidi and then having her just like I think she was really stre about the upcoming confrontation. But I remember her just kind of like zoning out from our conversation and walking away, And I was like, all right, let's talk about Caroline for a little bit. When she told you about her feelings, did that surprise you? Were you caught off guard with that? Um? I wouldn't necessarily say that I was caught off guard

because I could. I mean, it's obvious when somebody is flirting with you or you know, like things sort of started to take a little bit of a turn in that direction. Um. And but you know, we had so much fun together. I was like kind of hoping to eskate past it and like, you know, just continue to be friends and have everything to be fun all the time. UM. I guess I'm like a little bit avoidant, but uh, yeah, I don't know. I mean, I just I just was

kind of hoping to avoid an awkward conversation. But at the end of the day, I'm glad that we talked about everything that we did openly, so that like she knew where I stood on it and we could move past it and not have to have any awkwardness going forward, because I do think eventually it would have gotten to a point if she hadn't said something that maybe I just would have I don't know. I thinks it would

have become weird between us. So it has it So your friendship has stayed the same even though yeah, no, we're great friends, and I'm glad we were able to have that conversation. Good now, I know you're, you know, in such a good place right now, great relationship. But do you go and do you watch the episodes when they air or beforehand? Um? I mean like last night, I was out at a dinner, so I wasn't able to watch it as it aired, but I did try.

I I had a work thing this morning, so while I was getting ready, I had the episode from last night playing. I try to stay on top of it because I like to be able to contribute to the commentary and I have some idea what's going on. We don't know what's going to be used in the episodes and what won't be. So it's kind of helpful sometimes even for me, because all you know, people will comment things to me on social media and I'm like, what

are they talking about? Like I won't even know because we've filmed this over such a long period of time, um, and so much has changed in that time. So it's kind of good for me to have a little refresher and see what material was actually used for the episodes and what wasn't. Is it hard then to see your ex Brody, you know, in these different relationships and in these private conversations with Audrina or somebody else. Is that is that hard for you to watch? I mean, truthfully, no,

I move past that relationship a long time ago. UM, So you know, I mean, he and I are really clear, Like there's nothing he says he's saying on the show that I haven't heard him say in realized life, and I don't know, and we have a very transparent relationship, so I don't It's it's definitely not hard. And also obviously I've really moved on and I saw that, you know,

his mom congratulated you. And then I even noticed in last night's episode Kristen talking about how much she loved Brodie's mom, Like, do you do you still have a relationship with his mom? Yeah? We do. Um yeah, Actually, I mean I don't see her as much as I would like to, but I've seen her a few times in the last year, and it's just, you know, I mean, she was like my second mom for many years. My parents live on the East Coast, so she was my parent figure here on the West Coast, and so I

mean that doesn't just go away. And um, especially because Brodie and I had such an amicable split, it's just been kind of easy to keep everybody, um in a good place. But um, yeah, I mean I talked to her as often as I can. She's great. Did the cast and Brody included, did they know about the pregnancy before you announced it? Oh? Yeah, yeah yeah. I mean I wasn't like really trying to keep it a secret.

I was walking around everywhere like very blattly pregnant and telling everyone that I saw, But I just wasn't saying it on social media, just because I didn't really feel the necessity too. But then it kind of got to a point where so many people were talking about it on my Instagram and asking questions and making comments, and I was like, why am I not just acknowledging this

and moving forward? And it's actually been really nice because I didn't think I really cared to share it publicly, but then once I did, it was really heartwarming, Like I said at the beginning, to hear how many people were touched by hearing that I was pregnant or had nice things to say so. And I think too, it also shows, you know, when you're so transparent with your life and showing so many details of past relationships and things to and see, you find such a genuine happiness

and to fully move on. It honestly gives hope to those of us who have been through those breakups still looking for somebody and knowing that that is out there, you can't get it. I mean, I genuinely didn't think that I would find any of what I have found, Like I really did not. I was very okay with just remaining single, and I was in a really good place and very happy with being that way. And it's funny how when you relax and like, don't have all

these expectations and plans, how things come together better. Because I mean, Chris was such a pleasant surprise and and when I feel like I was trying the least. Is when everything finally came together the way that I had always hoped it would or wished it would, so keep each other during a pandemic, right, yeah, like that is.

I know my friends who are in the surf Righter Hotel in Malibu, I really kind of owe it all to them because they, um, it was when let's see last summer when all of the restrictions first kind of relaxed and hotels were reopening and outdoor dining was reopening, and they said, you know, we're going to reopen the surf Rider and no one knows yet, so that we have a bunch of rooms open, do you want to just come stay for a couple of days and um hang out like on the beach, Like, um, yeah, that

sounds great. And right around the same time, a mutual friend of me and Chris has had introduced us um over text, and I was like, you know, I really like to meet this guy, and there's really nowhere to do it. That's not weird except for the rooftop restaurant at the Surf Rider. It's like the only thing that's open. I'm going to be there all weekend by myself. I'll just invite him up and see what happens. And so we did like a little you know, outdoor dinner and

and yeah, you know it worked out. Were you open to day, like, were you I know that, you know, being on lockdown and being home did you know that Okay, I'm ready or was one of those people like I'll just I'll just see where this goes. Well, I hadn't been UM. I didn't date during lockdown for obvious reasons. Yeah, I mean that was not really possible. But leading up to that, I mean I had been dating. I just didn't really care. It was sort of like, if the

right person comes along, then I would consider it. But I wasn't actively trying to um, and I think that I don't know, I just it was more about It wasn't really so much the timing as much as just the right person coming along. You know. That's what people say. It's the moment you stopped looking, that's when it happens. It's so cliche. And that's why I hate to say that, because I feel like that's what everyone says to you,

but it's it's true. So in the little teaser, the preview for next week's episode, we saw you know, Adrina in the car with Brodie when he's going to meet Kristen, and then in the preview it says you you say something about wanting if they are doing something together, if they're a thing, one of them should have come and said something to you first. I mean, I think it's weird.

I spend a lot of time with all of these people, including Brodie and Audrina, and so I would have thought it was a little strange if they were hooking up, and neither of them ever thought that it would make sense to like acknowledge that when we're all together all

the time. But the thing that I think what you don't see in that scene is like everyone at the table was making jokes about how Audrina and Brodie would be such a good couple and like that they should be dating and done that, which I mean, I don't disagree with that. I mean, it's that's totally up to them. But it was like I wasn't at the table, and so it got really awkward because I was like, I don't I think it's weird. If I'm chiming in being like, yeah,

you do us to date, you know, it's weird. So I didn't know what to do because I'm like, and I'm here at the table, but everyone's kind of acting like I'm not here at the table and um, and I would hope that maybe I would know what was going on in this situation, but I don't really know what's going on. So it's just an awkward moment. So we'll all see you next week. We all see you next week. Yeah, how that all played out? Will Chris ever make good appearance on the show? I think you will.

I think that's the plan, just a little one gosh dash um, yeah, I mean I'm I'm yeah, I think so. He filmed with us, but again, you never know what they actually use and don't use. Good Well, I'm such a fan of the show. I'm such a fan of yours and I'm so happy for everything going on with you and personally and professionally, And thank you so much for being a part of this.
