Alex was recently interviewed by Rachel BIlson and Olivia Allen on their podcast Broad Ideas. It’s such a great interview! The pod episode starsts off with Alex talking about her kids being 15 months a part. Olivia blew Alex’s mind when she mentioned they worked together on the Romy and MIchelle movie that Alex did. Alex told the story ofhow she found out she was pregnant with her daughher Billie. She was doing some pickeling with her friends and started getting sick. They insisted she take a pregnancy test and she was in denial about it until she took one. She said she probably only would have had her son but her daughter wasn’t planned and she wouldn’t trade her little girl for the world. You can tell she loves her kids so much and loves her little girl.

Rachel and Olivia asked Alex about living in Georgia. Alex explained how she and her husband had looked at different places but chose the small town they live in Georgia. She talked about the kids and their schooling. She really wanted the kids to grow up normally and felt this was the right place. She said she lives in the woods on 5 acres of land and loves it. Her son goes to a real small school that she compares to Little House on The Prairie. She said he does really well there and likes it. Her daughter goes to more of a regular school.

One thing that Alex opened up more about in this interview was her mother. She talked about growing up and then went onto talk about losing her mother at a young age to addictio and how the last 5 years of her life they didn’t really talk. I am so proud of Alex for opening about such a hard topic. Both girls related to her on it and they spent some time talking about it. It was such a great interview and I highly encourge you all to go watch it!
