This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey there, everybody. Welcome to this edition of Amy and T.J., where I've already messed up the word, everybody. But that's what happens when I start podcast. TJ, why do you let me start podcasts? Because you were excited about this one, and you girls were chopping it up. This is like first of its kind episode for us. So I can see why you're a little nervous. I got nervous. We're a little intimidated by the folks we're about to talk to. Yes. Because they have a podcast called Unlikely Affair. And I just want to make sure nobody thinks that's the new name of our podcast. Let's not confuse anybody. an unlikely affair, Lala Kent and Amber Childers, and they just started this podcast a month ago.

0:44.6

So, but they're podcasters, or at least we know that Lala has her podcast.

0:48.6

And obviously, everyone knows Amber and Lala because, yes, they're on your television screens, they're in movie

0:56.6

theaters, they are everywhere. And now they're together, which is a huge part of the story. I don't

1:05.8

know where to begin. Maybe we begin with Amber. Amber, you're married.

1:11.6

You got two kids.

1:13.6

Tell me what happens.

1:14.6

What year was this?

1:15.6

Was it?

1:16.6

2017 is when it all started to unravel.

1:19.6

Well, for everybody else, it started unraveling the day I said I do.

1:24.6

I meant to say I don't, but I acted. Something just came out. In all seriousness, really, do you really think you may, you could go back to your wedding day and think this was a mistake? On that day, you felt that. Not later, but on that day, I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. When you, when you get married, you think, as a woman, you think, oh my God, this is going to be so romantic. And we eloped and I agreed to elope. And that was all. I didn't want to be a princess walking down the aisle. That was like not my thing. But when you go home at night and you're like, all right, let's, we're going to have like sex for the first time first time as a married couple. And, like, it's going to be sexy. And it's going to feel so different and passionate because now we're, like, one, and we're married. And you look over at your partner and you say, hey. And he's like, I'm too tired, not tonight. You're like, I think I just made the biggest mistake of my life. That's called Coke,

2:19.4

actually. Thank you. You're welcome. It's called Wedding in?

2:23.4

Coke. Oh. I didn't know about it. Hear it right or I didn't understand it. All right. So on your

2:30.3

wedding night, you were like, what have I done? Get that. So how do you think, because you were

2:37.2

I think almost eight by the time everything was finalized. Yeah. You know what? I think a lot of

2:48.8

my mentality back then, and it's so, I feel like I'm talking about a separate person, right? Because the person that you are today is you look back and you're like, wow, I just want to like go hug her or slap her, right? I grew up in a Mormon family. So for me, I had all these values of what a marriage should look like. And obviously,

3:08.8

my ex was not Mormon, but I still valued marriage. My parents, you know, met when they were

3:15.1

in high school and still to the day that they're married. So divorce wasn't even in my vocabulary.

3:20.1

And I'm a fighter. I wanted to keep fighting for my marriage from the first time, you know, things started to go wrong. And I'm, and I was just, I believe in love. I was sold the fairy tale that, you know, Walt Disney sold every little girl sitting on their couch going that Prince Charming is going to come rescue me.
