We Want More! What do you think fans would be surprised to find out about you? "I cuss like a sailor, which I can't believe you haven't heard me cuss yet. I'm still trying to be well-behaved. We're just meeting. I'm outgoing and I really like meeting new people but I am really private in a weird way. Like I always think, I'd love to share this with the world, but then I get scared to. Does that make sense?" Like your cooking? "Yes! Yeah. I'm fiercely protective and I think people would probably imagine I'm happy and easygoing 'cause that's usually what people see, but I could cut a bitch —there you go!— if you hurt someone I love. I'm not afraid to stand up for someone that I love. I'm fierce like that. Especially when Nick was playing ball and I would run into those jerky fans that say the worst things in the world. I'd have no problem telling them, 'Yo, I'm his wife and I'm two rows away from you. Watch your back.' Especially if I had Emme and they're saying terrible things about their father. 'Cool your jets, man! There's a kid here who loves him a lot.' Nick calls it my Cuban salsa. He is like, 'That is real.' I'm like, 'Yeah, babe. I got you.'" What are you watching on TV? "The Crown, The Night Manager, which I thought was fantastic. Stranger Things. Obviously, The Bachelor. I look forward to every new season and I love the whole journey. Nick and I will turn it on and just have a good laugh. I love the Bourne movies and Lethal Weapon. I like action films much more than anything else. Nick is like, 'Let's go see the new romantic comedy.' Yeah, but there's a Bourne out. I got the whole Bourne library of all the movies for Christmas." Is there a role that you haven't played that you want to play? "Yes, of course. I fancy myself in private that I would be an excellent spy and that I could kick some ass when I need to. I could be a great spy. I just don't know that people would think of me for those roles. I don't know what I gotta do to put the vibe out that I would be a really good spy." Who are you listening to? "I'm a huge country music fan. I love Bruno Mars. I love One Direction. Nick's like, 'It's almost creepy.' No, it's definitely creepy," she laughs. "I love singer- songwriters. I love Ray LaMontagne. Adele. Justin Timberlake. I love music that makes you feel, that's why I love country music. I'm taking Nick to Stagecoach, the country music festival in Palm Springs. He's definitely going to see a side of me that he's never seen, like my cutoff jean shorts. I'm definitely going to wear an American flag and my cowboy boots and drink beer."
