‘I live it every day. We all judge ourselves and others, even when we don’t mean to,’ she said on the topic of women judging one another.
‘Motherhood can be isolating, and without other mothers going through the same thing, I don’t know how I’d have made it through the first two years. It’s such a learning curve.’

Back in 2021, Reedus popped the big question to Kruger after a motorcycle trip to Savannah, Georgia.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor recalled how their daughter had taken part in the proposal.
His first plan to was ask Kruger the big question outside but a thunderstorm rolled in, making it impossible to do so.
The next morning, he placed the estimated $500,000 eight-carat ring inside one of his boots and asked the actress to grab it for him while their daughter was sitting on his lap.
‘I’m like, “I want to look at the boot” because I had it shoved in the boot. Then I proposed. She started crying, then Nova started crying – everybody’s crying,’ Reedus shared.
‘It was waterworks city. And then Nova’s going, “Why are we crying?!” And then Diane’s going, “It’s happy tears.” She’s like, “Yes, it’s happy tears!”‘
Reedus is also father to son Mingus, 26, whom he shares with Helena Christensen.
