‘Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer,’ she added.
She also gushed over Rocky’s relationship with their son, saying their baby boy needed validation from his father as she described their close bond.
‘I’m just sitting on the sidelines when they’re together,” she noted. ‘I’m literally the girl trying to get into the boys club, waiting for my turn. He is obsessed with his father. And I’m like: ‘Didn’t I give birth to you? What is going on?’
‘Their connection is undeniable,’ she added. ‘The second Rocky makes eye contact with him he is on fire. The whole thing they say about sons and moms, it’s a myth.
‘Sons and fathers is crazy. I realized that the validation that you really need as a boy is from your father.’
