25 Things You Don’t Know About Me

The Real cohost gets real with Us

1. My family thinks I make the best pancakes. I mix vanilla extract into the batter. 2. My identical twin sister, Tia, and I speak with our eyes. We don’t have to say anything and we know.

3. My first car was a Ford Explorer. I had to share it with Tia. I crashed it backing into a wooden fence.

4. I had a poster of Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block on my wall growing up.

5. My biggest pet peeve is narcissist­ic people. 6. I was so shy when I met

Drake. I couldn’t say hello. 7. I try to Netflix and chill — like, really chill, with a glass of wine.

8. My dream role is to play a struggling mom trying to make ends meet and succeeding. Single moms are some of the strongest people I know.

9. If I could have dinner with one person, it would be Tyler Perry. His story of struggle and perseveran­ce is admirable. 10. My favorite holiday is Christmas. I love the music, the colors of the decoration­s and the meaning behind the holiday. 11. My preshow ritual is calling my husband [Adam Housley] and kids [Aden, 6, and Ariah, 4] before they head to school.

12. If it were my kids’ dream to act, I’d let them. But I’d make sure they get a college degree as well.

13. I always like to try new toiletries.

14. I can salsa and swing dance.

15. It would be magical to act alongside my sister again. 16. I would do a Sister, Sister reboot, but more of a movie series.

17. The most rewarding part about being a mom is seeing the world all over again through their eyes.

18. The hardest lesson I’ve had to learn is how not to take rejection personally. 19. Food and wine are my guilty pleasures. 20. Sometimes people take my unconditio­nal love for granted.

21. I don’t have any regrets. I always turn them into life lessons.

22. People think I’m Miss Goody Two-shoes. I’m actually not.

23. If I were stuck on a desert island, I’d bring bread, wine and chocolate. That would keep me going. 24. The most influentia­l person in my life is my grandmothe­r. She was so wise, loving, kind and forgiving.

25. My brother Tahj is the funniest person I know. He can make doing laundry funny.
