“You know, I think that I’m the kind of girl, like, I’m such a hopeless romantic, and all my friends around, are married with babies. I just, I really want that. That’s what, to me, like, success is, is having a family and, you know, a partner. And when I met him, I thought that’s what I saw in him.”
