The actress recalled: "She goes, 'I really want you to have a really tight waist.' And I had just found out I was pregnant and I was like, 'Mmm, no. No, I don't think so. No'.

"And she was like, 'Well, why?' And I was like, 'Eh, you know, I just know myself.' I'm scrambling for a reason. I just know myself and I know that I won't be as free'.

"'I won't be as free if I'm constrained around my middle, so we just better make everything very loose.'"

"[With Johnathan there's] no coping, just love. Now Jack's big enough to wrestle with and that's brought a new element to their relationship that's really cute."
