Our wild hearts11/6/2023 ![]() That was the more challenging part of the process – the post-production. My relationship with my kids has never been better.

My daughter has also wanted to be a performer since she was six years old, and we’ve held her back because we didn’t want to choose that life for her and for the other kids.
