“I think pouring myself into another person is probably not a healthy way of going about things. I think it shifts the expectations and power and entitlement a lot,” she said. “I just have to put 100 percent into myself, and you truly have to be a spectacularly impressive individual to add something to my life because — and I don’t mean to sound full of myself — but the life that I’ve built, I am really, really happy with.”
She also talked about her life – and the rule for coming into her world.
“I love my career, I love my baby [son Hayes, 4, with Hurd], I love my home, I love my friends. Those are all things that matter to me, and those are self-made. I only will allow someone to come into my life if they amplify any of it. They can’t be a net negative. They can’t drain my resources, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Financially, emotionally, spiritually. You truly have to have your s— together to be any part of my life at this point.”
“I don’t hide any part of myself. I feel like I can’t really do that because I’m a public figure, semi-public, so everything’s on the table, but I also have to protect my heart,” she explained.
“I think there’s less pressure to make anything spark or happen, it’s just like I’m enjoying dating for the first time. Nothing crazy has happened yet, it’s just mostly been like OK, I can still do this, I guess, and meet a stranger and connect through conversation. That’s tougher than you’d think.”
“I am excited. This part of myself is the most confident and just not taking herself too seriously, so it is the perfect moment to be dating,” she added. “My rules are just you have to be really spectacular to push me over.”
