As for what she does eat, she focuses on what makes her feel best.
“The crunch of a salad feels pretty good,” she shared in an interview withByrdie.
“I also do love making my own soups really clean, healthy, wonderful soups.

It warms me and makes me feel all homey and great.
And salad on a cold day doesn’t feel as much like a meal.”
She later moved to the City of Lights to study art.
Little did she know, that spur-of-the-moment decision would ultimately change the course of her entire life.
In the series, she plays character Jerry Gergich’s bombshell wife.

“Singalongs are one of my favorite things to do.
