On how Brad has helped shape her family:

"[Brad] has expanded my life in ways I never imagined. We built a family. He is not just the love of my life; he is my family. I hold that very dear. I suppose what I've learned from Brad is to be able to have the kind of family whose happiness and well-being comes before your own. I'm very, very grateful to have such a loving family, and I wouldn't have that without him."
