Zamparelli and Ryan joked about swapping their husbands
This was liberating. We had verbal diarrhoea JENNIFER ZAMPARELLI DISCUSSING PODCAST
“I did feel a little bit robbed but I had an emergency section for the first one. Then I was advised to go for a section on the second one. “Then you kind of don’t know any better but the recovery is tricky, especially when you’re a geriatric mom like myself.” Dancing with the Stars presenter Jen doesn’t confine herself to spilling the beans on her own podcast. She recently admitted to Darren Kennedy on his podcast The Number that she’d had relationship doubts on her wedding day.
She told him: “‘There was doubts. If people are one hundred per cent sure on their wedding day – fair play to you.
“We never talked about marriage. He sprang it on me when we were in Sardinia, it was the weirdest thing. The first thing I said to him was, ‘are you sure?’.
“It’s funny, like we were together, we broke up, we did the long-distance relationship for so long, but we’ve made it through 15 years and I love him more than I ever did.”
The Bridget and Eamon series creator found motherhood was by far her most scary venture.
She told us: “I’ve never known fear like it, having a child. I remember checking them every five minutes and becoming obsessed with temperature.
“Are they sleeping? There’s a fear you might take your eye off the ball and something might happen. It’s only when they get a bit sturdier and older you go back and say, ‘Oh my God’.”
The busy broadcaster admitted she doesn’t get as much help as she’d like from family when it comes to raising her kids.
But she conceded: “I have a bit of help. I have a brother in Clare and his wife and their kids and they’re always there but they’re all the way in Clare.
“My mum has just been at the All Ireland drama. It’s like her Electric Picnic.
“She’s had six of us so she’s like ‘mind your own’.”
