00:00This couple! When y'all saw Cam Newton, he was like, this you? This you?
00:03How did that feel for Cam Newton to be like, dang, that's you?
00:06Oh man, it's great, you know what I'm saying? He a legend on the field, you know what I'm saying?
00:09Me? I'm an old school legend on the field and off the field.
00:12You know what I'm saying?
00:14Yo, you're one of the hardest working women in all of television.
00:18Kudos to you, Mr. Artist, as well.
00:21But you know I'm here to talk entertainment, too, now.
00:23Yes.
00:24Girlfriend, you got some new products coming out. What can you tease?
00:27I can't really tease much.
00:30I know! It's like, it's hard because it's like, the things that I've been doing, that we've been doing,
00:35we're so excited about, but it's like, we're not supposed to say anything yet!
00:40So this is a joint project.
00:42Well, we have joint projects and then we have separate projects, as well.
00:45So, we're getting busy. You know, our kids are older now.
00:48We got a little more time, a little more freedom, because they ain't worried about us like that.
00:52They got their own lives.
00:54Speak about the kids, actually. I want to know, they're getting older.
00:56What is the best part about having children at that age?
00:59And what's the most challenging part or the scariest part about having children at that age?
01:03It's motivation, to see them grow.
01:06It just gives you life and gives you light.
01:08When it's dark outside, it's like the best thing you can experience.
01:12You know what I'm saying? It's being a parent.
01:14That's beautiful.
01:15I think what's amazing for me, my daughter had asked me one day.
01:17She was like, Mom, are you upset that we're getting older?
01:20And I was like, no, baby.
01:22I said, I get to see you grow. I get to see your journey.
01:24And now I got my little best friend riding with me.
01:26You know what I'm saying?
01:27So I feel like that's how we both feel.
01:29Our kids are like our little best friends, but they know not to play with us.
01:33So it's a balance.
01:35Okay, so let me say, how do I say this?
01:38So what's the challenge?
01:39So gangsta and gentle parenting have to combine.
01:43They have to combine.
01:45It can't just be gangsta, warden, listen to me, you ain't got no say so and nothing.
01:50And it also can't be, what do you need from me?
01:52Oh, hell no, ain't nobody doing all that.
01:54So it has to be a balance, which he has adapted very well.
01:59Oh, no, it's the sexiest thing on the planet.
02:01What?
02:03I be like, look at you over there fathering.
02:06Look at you over there molding.
02:08Yes.
02:09Look at you handling your responsibility.
02:12Are y'all talking dating yet?
02:13Are they talking about dating yet to you?
02:15Well, our oldest is my bonus baby.
02:18He's old.
02:20He's 17.
02:22But our 13-year-old, she a little gangsta, so she not really.
02:26She know better.
02:27I told her, she know better.
02:28She got a big brother that's pulling up to the stove.
02:30But our youngest, she's the one that be like, love.
02:32And we be like, baby.
02:34Calm it down.
02:35My final question for you all before I let you go in.
02:37You guys have been together since 2008.
02:39That's unheard of in Hollywood because everyone, you know what happens.
02:42Yeah.
02:43All right.
02:44What's been the key to that secret sauce?
02:46Being together, becoming fiancés in 2011.
02:49What is the key?
02:50I just have to say remembering that it's a journey.
02:54You know?
02:55I think that people go into situations thinking everything is going to be
02:59hunky-dory and happy and butterflies every day.
03:02But it's a journey.
03:03You know, our journey hasn't been perfect.
03:05But it's worth it.
03:07You know what I'm saying?
03:08You know?
03:09And again, not to get in your business, but you know I got to ask.
03:12And everyone on social media is always asking, are you thinking about it at least?
03:15Are you thinking about moving closer to the wedding and the bells?
03:18But the crazy thing is, okay, we was at BET Awards, weren't we?
03:21Yeah.
03:22We showed up at the BET Awards and people were like,
03:24congratulations on your engagement.
03:26And we were like, what are y'all talking about?
03:27Like what are you saying?
03:30And then we saw it online and we just started saying thank you.
03:33But we have like weird like you looking at two gangstas who live in a life
03:37and loving each other and that's it.
03:39We good.
03:40Don't worry about what we doing.
03:41We good over here.
03:42I love that so much.
03:43We super good.
03:44Got anything else?
03:45I'm good.
03:46I feel good.
03:47He's like blushing.
03:48He's like she got it, she got it.
