ME VS. HER
■ What are the biggest personality differences between you and Chloe?
“Being needy and needing validation and attention from a man. I’ve never really been like that. I’m not the damsel in distress is maybe a better way to say it. A lot of times, it seems like Chloe has been. Also, people have told me that I’m funny. My sense of humor is way more, I don’t want to say raunchy, but I’m a real straight shooter. And I would say that maybe Chloe’s not.”
Who has a better wardrobe?
“Chloe, for sure, especially since and after Covid. I’ve completely given up on how I dress in life. I always say I dress like a 14-year-old boy when I go to work — joggers, sneakers and a hoodie. And I wear a backpack. Remember how somewhat glamorous I used to be? Now I wear a backpack and sneakers. I come into work and put on the dresses and shoes now, but not in real life. Chloe’s fashion-forward. I love what she wears. I’m so out of practice with wearing heels because we were all stuck at home for two years. I’ve just gotten used to becoming a lot more comfortable. My personal style has become a lot more casual.”
Who has a better home?
“I do, for sure. I don’t live at the Salem Inn. I have a home and I love my house. We moved to Charleston, South Carolina. My favorite spots are the two porches we have in the back of our house that face all this land with beautiful water and oak trees with Spanish moss. Both have porch swings on them. We love to sit there and have a glass of wine or just sit there and talk and relax. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. We love it.”
How is your relationship with Eric Martsolf different from Chloe’s with Brady?
“It’s not that different. I mean, we don’t make out in real life, but we love each other and have such a good time together. He has a great sense of humor. We always make each other laugh. What you see on screen mirrors how we feel about each other. We feel trust with each other. We have a lot of similarities. We both love to sing. We’re both musical theater geeks. We both have a stupid sense of humor. Grant [Bjorlin’s husband] loves Eric. They used to go golfing together.”
Who’s a better mom?
“I definitely hope
I’m a better parent than Chloe, who hasn’t seen Parker in a long time and then shipped him off to boarding school. If you talk to my husband, he’ll be like, ‘Can you stop being a helicopter parent?’ And he’ll make the sound of a helicopter. I’m not a helicopter parent. I just love them so much, and care so much, and want to make sure they’re okay. So maybe I do helicopter a bit, but not in a bad way. I’m super hands-on. My favorite thing to do in the world is snuggle with my children. We snuggle on the couch and watch PAW PATROL. We play together. We do arts and crafts.”
