Speaker 1: This is a Wells cast with Wells Adams and I
Speaker 1: Heart radio podcast. So are you hosting today? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: I swear I was thinking about this on the drive here.
Speaker 1: I have co hosted um one of Wells shows before,
Speaker 1: and he's not been there. And then I feel like
Speaker 1: each time we hear about an episode of this show,
Speaker 1: he's not hosting it either, Like when does he host
Speaker 1: his actual show. He's like, he's at an undisclosed location
Speaker 1: at the moment, filming something. Okay, I think I think
Speaker 1: I know someone else who's filming at that undisclosed un
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us today. I am
Speaker 1: so excited to meet you. I I want to talk
Speaker 1: about the episode last night, but first and foremost, congratulations
Speaker 1: on the pregnancy. It's so exciting. Are you feeling good?
Speaker 1: Are you any any type of side effects or symptoms
Speaker 1: or anything just yet? Um, other than just really adjusting
Speaker 1: to the idea of being pregnant. I mean, I it's
Speaker 1: something that I wanted for so long that I feel
Speaker 1: like when I found out I actually was pregnant, I
Speaker 1: was really surprised. Um in a good way of course,
Speaker 1: but also like, I don't know, it took me a
Speaker 1: while to really absorb it. Um. And so yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just really excited out. But I've been really lucky. I
Speaker 1: haven't had sickness or anything like that. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: when I know you're in a relationship right now, it's
Speaker 1: been a little over a year with Christopher. Was this
Speaker 1: something that you guys talked about. Did you want this
Speaker 1: on your plan? Yeah? Yeah, well we so he already
Speaker 1: he's got a six year old son already, so he's
Speaker 1: been a father for several years. And for me, when
Speaker 1: I began dating again, I knew, sorry, my dog is
Speaker 1: not going to leave me alone. I've been I've been
Speaker 1: out of the house all day, and he was so
Speaker 1: happy when I came back. Um, you might only sit
Speaker 1: up here the whole time. Um. So when I uh
Speaker 1: started dating again, I knew that it was really important
Speaker 1: to me to find somebody who had the same goals
Speaker 1: and wanted the same things in life that I did.
Speaker 1: So we kind of got to the conversation about having
Speaker 1: kids and um where we stood with all of that
Speaker 1: really quickly. Um, and we were definitely on the same page.
Speaker 1: So we're like, hey, let's you know, let's go for
Speaker 1: it and just see what happens, and we were really lucky.
Speaker 1: And so, yeah, I don't know how it lines up
Speaker 1: with filming and the months that you guys were filming
Speaker 1: this season. Did you have to keep it a secret
Speaker 1: for a bit? Were you fild me during that time? Um?
Speaker 1: Initially I did plan. I had planned to keep it
Speaker 1: a secret. I did tell the show runner because I was,
Speaker 1: you know, pretty run down the first few weeks, UM,
Speaker 1: and it was hard for me to keep up with
Speaker 1: the pace of some of the filming initially, so I
Speaker 1: had to tell her because they don't really let you
Speaker 1: just set things out normally to go home early. UM.
Speaker 1: And you know, we filmed really long days. We filmed
Speaker 1: for I mean when we go on trips, we're filming
Speaker 1: for probably eighteen hours a day, three days in a row.
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot of you know, being on
Speaker 1: your feet and being really active and talking and participating. UM.
Speaker 1: And so I did let them know pretty early on.
Speaker 1: But my plan wasn't actually to to film anything about
Speaker 1: being pregnant. And then our production just kept getting delayed
Speaker 1: for various reasons and it got to a point where
Speaker 1: it was too obvious to not address it UM and filming,
Speaker 1: so we ended up talking about it on there, but
Speaker 1: I think it ultimately was good that we did, because,
Speaker 1: you know, it's a really exciting, happy time in my life.
Speaker 1: And um, and I don't know, I just feel like
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting uh and to the ark
Speaker 1: of this season for me and my character on the show.
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, I mean I'm really excited to share
Speaker 1: it with everyone. Were you planning on keeping the gender
Speaker 1: of secret? Because I saw that your sister accidentally kind
Speaker 1: of yeah, shared it. She did totally accidentally, and actually
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that had happened. And she called
Speaker 1: me the next day and she was like, I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that you hadn't said anything. And
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you talking about. I don't
Speaker 1: even know what you mean. Um, I didn't intentionally not
Speaker 1: share it, So it wasn't a big deal that she did. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know. I there's a part of
Speaker 1: me that just doesn't really feel the need to share
Speaker 1: like every single detail about it, even though I'm so excited,
Speaker 1: I feel pretty private in a lot of ways about
Speaker 1: it as well. So UM, I'm not. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: happy that people. No, it's totally fine. It's such a
Speaker 1: positive response to everybody's just so thrilled for you, guys.
Speaker 1: I think that's so nice and it really makes me
Speaker 1: feel good that you know. Also, I've been so blown
Speaker 1: away by how invested people are are in my whole
Speaker 1: journey over the last couple of years, and how many
Speaker 1: people realize how badly I wanted this to happen, and
Speaker 1: like are celebrating with me and are genuinely really happy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've had so many nice messages from people
Speaker 1: just saying, like, I know, we don't know each other,
Speaker 1: but i feel like you're my friend and I'm just
Speaker 1: so happy for you, and that's really sweet. It makes
Speaker 1: me feel really good. I've never met you before, but
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the show. I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: yours and when I saw the headline last week that
Speaker 1: you were pregnant, I was so excited for you that
Speaker 1: I felt like one of my friends was pregnant. It
Speaker 1: was just it was so excited to read. I'm just
Speaker 1: so excited for you. Is there anything that you are
Speaker 1: nervous about when it comes to being a mom? I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's many a million things. Yeah. I mean I
Speaker 1: think that if I start to think about the things
Speaker 1: that make me nervous. It would just be a runaway list.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can screw your kids up so bad
Speaker 1: with like the littlest things. I think, But you know,
Speaker 1: my I think, as long as your intention is good
Speaker 1: and you, um, you know, show your kids lots of
Speaker 1: love and respect, um, they're going to be okay. So
Speaker 1: that's just my plan. I'm trying not to overthink every
Speaker 1: little detail because there's just too much to think about.
Speaker 1: I mean, even with my pregnancy, I try not to
Speaker 1: think about anything besides the week that I'm in, you know,
Speaker 1: because each week it's so different, and you know, it
Speaker 1: can be very overwhelming if if you think about it
Speaker 1: too much. And I like the fact that you are
Speaker 1: I mean somene of my business anyways, But keeping this relationship,
Speaker 1: you know a lot of it to yourself, just between
Speaker 1: the two of you, and not sharing everything that happens
Speaker 1: and not being so public. After having a few very
Speaker 1: public relationships, it's just something that I think you guys
Speaker 1: can just hold close to yourselves and keep things private
Speaker 1: between yourselves. And I like that as a fan for
Speaker 1: you to be able to experience. I know you said
Speaker 1: in the past that this is one of the first
Speaker 1: adult you feel like it's an adult relationship that you've
Speaker 1: been in m and I just I love I love that.
Speaker 1: My past relationships, I think the only reason they've been
Speaker 1: public is because the people that I ended up in
Speaker 1: relationships with and were already public figures. You know. I
Speaker 1: don't think that there was any reason besides that, because
Speaker 1: it certainly wasn't ever my intention for to be really
Speaker 1: anything public. But you know, just by the nature of
Speaker 1: those relationships and this this one, you know, it's not
Speaker 1: that way, which is really nice. It's really refreshing, and um,
Speaker 1: I mean it certainly makes things a little bit less
Speaker 1: complicated because you're not I don't know, having to think
Speaker 1: about anyone else involved. It's like just the two of you,
Speaker 1: and um, it's just been really nice to have that
Speaker 1: experience this time around. Let's talk about last night's episode.
Speaker 1: There's I've noticed a difference from the first season to
Speaker 1: this season, and in taking COVID and the pandemic out
Speaker 1: of it, there's been such a change with everybody really
Speaker 1: and I think it played a role in this new season.
Speaker 1: Do you see a big major difference between you in
Speaker 1: this in this new season compared to last season, UM,
Speaker 1: or anything you're doing differently this time around. I would
Speaker 1: just say that I think everybody in general had a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different attitude. Well, there are a
Speaker 1: few people who seem to still have kind of a
Speaker 1: bad attitude about the show, UM, which I don't understand
Speaker 1: because I feel like, if you don't want to be
Speaker 1: on a show, then don't be on a show. But um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think for the most part, it was
Speaker 1: a really eye opening in the sense that, you know,
Speaker 1: we're so lucky to have work and be able to
Speaker 1: spend time with this group of people and have a
Speaker 1: good time like travel together and laugh together, and UM.
Speaker 1: While I don't know, just being isolated was so hard,
Speaker 1: it was nice that we had the opportunity to, you know,
Speaker 1: get our COVID tests literally every other day, UM, but
Speaker 1: in turn be able to spend time with a group
Speaker 1: of people and make something entertaining for other people to watch.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I was just personally grateful to be
Speaker 1: able to participate in that UM and I definitely took
Speaker 1: it a little more for granted before you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I I don't know, It's just there are a few
Speaker 1: ways to look at making a reality show. And I
Speaker 1: think that, Um, the fact that anyone would want to
Speaker 1: watch our lives and that we're able to you know,
Speaker 1: make money doing that and have a good time doing it,
Speaker 1: It's just like it's kind of a freak, once in
Speaker 1: a lifetime opportunity, and I feel really fortunate. So when
Speaker 1: somebody is talking about this show and they say that
Speaker 1: the episode was the worst episode of reality TV they've
Speaker 1: ever watched, you know, Spencer and maybe these comments about that,
Speaker 1: how how does that make you feel? As there as
Speaker 1: your cast members saying this about the show that you
Speaker 1: guys do together. I think everyone knows that, Spencer, And
Speaker 1: how do you always have an agenda? So I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what their agenda is at the moment, because they
Speaker 1: weren't singing that tune you know, earlier on. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're kind of the ones who got everyone together to
Speaker 1: make this show in the first place. Um. And I
Speaker 1: also don't know why you would it's not a project
Speaker 1: that you just spent the last year and a half
Speaker 1: working on, because you know, I mean, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of work and a lot of time and a lot
Speaker 1: of energy, and so I don't really know what the
Speaker 1: whole reason, I'm sorry, trying to get on my lab
Speaker 1: when I put him down, and um, he was just
Speaker 1: licking the microphone. But yeah, I don't, I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not understanding that. And I I mean, I know that
Speaker 1: there is definitely um an issue going on between the
Speaker 1: Prats and the Wallers. Um as you can see, is
Speaker 1: unfolding on the show right now. And I don't know
Speaker 1: if they're more specific, more specific quickly aiming those comments
Speaker 1: at them, I don't really know, but it seems like, UM,
Speaker 1: not very productive to tell people that a show you're
Speaker 1: on is boring. One of my favorite moments from last
Speaker 1: night's episode was when you you're talking with Heidi and
Speaker 1: you say what can we do to have fun? And
Speaker 1: she just completely ignores you walks off, and you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: like you're trying to keep the energy good and positive
Speaker 1: and just have fun and she just walks off, and you, oh,
Speaker 1: was just yeah, I mean, I think what you what
Speaker 1: we didn't see there was you know, the whole conflict
Speaker 1: between Ashley and Heidi is still to this day confusing
Speaker 1: to me, Like I don't understand where it stems from exactly.
Speaker 1: And you know, Ashley and I had that conversation in
Speaker 1: the park, which you only see a little portion of,
Speaker 1: but it was essentially, you know, from my perspective, I
Speaker 1: really they just thought there was a big misunderstanding between
Speaker 1: the two of them. I didn't know that Ashley was
Speaker 1: really having all of these pretty judgmental feelings about Heidi's drinking.
Speaker 1: I I didn't know that because she didn't. I never
Speaker 1: heard her say anything about it, and when we were
Speaker 1: in the park she kind of explained it to me
Speaker 1: more like Heidi thinks I'm saying this, but I'm really not.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, well, if you're not, then
Speaker 1: just tell her you're not. And so then I saw
Speaker 1: Heidi at the party that night, and what they didn't
Speaker 1: show was that I said to her, Hey, I really
Speaker 1: think you and Ashley should talk because I think there's
Speaker 1: just a huge misunderstanding here. I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: she doesn't really have any feelings about your drinking, and
Speaker 1: you guys should talk and make up and everything will
Speaker 1: be fine. I'm like thinking I'm being the peacekeeper and
Speaker 1: that everything's gonna be great, and I just wanted to
Speaker 1: have a good time. I mean, that was kind of
Speaker 1: me the whole season. I feel like every episode, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody's fighting. I just don't have a good time, like
Speaker 1: to have a good time. Um. So yeah, and but
Speaker 1: I do. I actually remember saying not to Heidi and
Speaker 1: then having her just like I think she was really
Speaker 1: stre about the upcoming confrontation. But I remember her just
Speaker 1: kind of like zoning out from our conversation and walking away,
Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, let's talk about Caroline
Speaker 1: for a little bit. When she told you about her feelings,
Speaker 1: did that surprise you? Were you caught off guard with that? Um?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say that I was caught off guard
Speaker 1: because I could. I mean, it's obvious when somebody is
Speaker 1: flirting with you or you know, like things sort of
Speaker 1: started to take a little bit of a turn in
Speaker 1: that direction. Um. And but you know, we had so
Speaker 1: much fun together. I was like kind of hoping to
Speaker 1: eskate past it and like, you know, just continue to
Speaker 1: be friends and have everything to be fun all the time. UM.
Speaker 1: I guess I'm like a little bit avoidant, but uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I just I just was
Speaker 1: kind of hoping to avoid an awkward conversation. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I'm glad that we talked
Speaker 1: about everything that we did openly, so that like she
Speaker 1: knew where I stood on it and we could move
Speaker 1: past it and not have to have any awkwardness going forward,
Speaker 1: because I do think eventually it would have gotten to
Speaker 1: a point if she hadn't said something that maybe I
Speaker 1: just would have I don't know. I thinks it would
Speaker 1: have become weird between us. So it has it So
Speaker 1: your friendship has stayed the same even though yeah, no,
Speaker 1: we're great friends, and I'm glad we were able to
Speaker 1: have that conversation. Good now, I know you're, you know,
Speaker 1: in such a good place right now, great relationship. But
Speaker 1: do you go and do you watch the episodes when
Speaker 1: they air or beforehand? Um? I mean like last night,
Speaker 1: I was out at a dinner, so I wasn't able
Speaker 1: to watch it as it aired, but I did try.
Speaker 1: I I had a work thing this morning, so while
Speaker 1: I was getting ready, I had the episode from last
Speaker 1: night playing. I try to stay on top of it
Speaker 1: because I like to be able to contribute to the
Speaker 1: commentary and I have some idea what's going on. We
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to be used in the episodes
Speaker 1: and what won't be. So it's kind of helpful sometimes
Speaker 1: even for me, because all you know, people will comment
Speaker 1: things to me on social media and I'm like, what
Speaker 1: are they talking about? Like I won't even know because
Speaker 1: we've filmed this over such a long period of time, um,
Speaker 1: and so much has changed in that time. So it's
Speaker 1: kind of good for me to have a little refresher
Speaker 1: and see what material was actually used for the episodes
Speaker 1: and what wasn't. Is it hard then to see your
Speaker 1: ex Brody, you know, in these different relationships and in
Speaker 1: these private conversations with Audrina or somebody else. Is that
Speaker 1: is that hard for you to watch? I mean, truthfully, no,
Speaker 1: I move past that relationship a long time ago. UM,
Speaker 1: So you know, I mean, he and I are really clear,
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing he says he's saying on the show
Speaker 1: that I haven't heard him say in realized life, and
Speaker 1: I don't know, and we have a very transparent relationship,
Speaker 1: so I don't It's it's definitely not hard. And also
Speaker 1: obviously I've really moved on and I saw that, you know,
Speaker 1: his mom congratulated you. And then I even noticed in
Speaker 1: last night's episode Kristen talking about how much she loved
Speaker 1: Brodie's mom, Like, do you do you still have a
Speaker 1: relationship with his mom? Yeah? We do. Um yeah, Actually,
Speaker 1: I mean I don't see her as much as I
Speaker 1: would like to, but I've seen her a few times
Speaker 1: in the last year, and it's just, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: she was like my second mom for many years. My
Speaker 1: parents live on the East Coast, so she was my
Speaker 1: parent figure here on the West Coast, and so I
Speaker 1: mean that doesn't just go away. And um, especially because
Speaker 1: Brodie and I had such an amicable split, it's just
Speaker 1: been kind of easy to keep everybody, um in a
Speaker 1: good place. But um, yeah, I mean I talked to
Speaker 1: her as often as I can. She's great. Did the
Speaker 1: cast and Brody included, did they know about the pregnancy
Speaker 1: before you announced it? Oh? Yeah, yeah yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: I wasn't like really trying to keep it a secret.
Speaker 1: I was walking around everywhere like very blattly pregnant and
Speaker 1: telling everyone that I saw, But I just wasn't saying
Speaker 1: it on social media, just because I didn't really feel
Speaker 1: the necessity too. But then it kind of got to
Speaker 1: a point where so many people were talking about it
Speaker 1: on my Instagram and asking questions and making comments, and
Speaker 1: I was like, why am I not just acknowledging this
Speaker 1: and moving forward? And it's actually been really nice because
Speaker 1: I didn't think I really cared to share it publicly,
Speaker 1: but then once I did, it was really heartwarming, Like
Speaker 1: I said at the beginning, to hear how many people
Speaker 1: were touched by hearing that I was pregnant or had
Speaker 1: nice things to say so. And I think too, it
Speaker 1: also shows, you know, when you're so transparent with your
Speaker 1: life and showing so many details of past relationships and
Speaker 1: things to and see, you find such a genuine happiness
Speaker 1: and to fully move on. It honestly gives hope to
Speaker 1: those of us who have been through those breakups still
Speaker 1: looking for somebody and knowing that that is out there,
Speaker 1: you can't get it. I mean, I genuinely didn't think
Speaker 1: that I would find any of what I have found,
Speaker 1: Like I really did not. I was very okay with
Speaker 1: just remaining single, and I was in a really good
Speaker 1: place and very happy with being that way. And it's
Speaker 1: funny how when you relax and like, don't have all
Speaker 1: these expectations and plans, how things come together better. Because
Speaker 1: I mean, Chris was such a pleasant surprise and and
Speaker 1: when I feel like I was trying the least. Is
Speaker 1: when everything finally came together the way that I had
Speaker 1: always hoped it would or wished it would, so keep
Speaker 1: each other during a pandemic, right, yeah, like that is.
Speaker 1: I know my friends who are in the surf Righter
Speaker 1: Hotel in Malibu, I really kind of owe it all
Speaker 1: to them because they, um, it was when let's see
Speaker 1: last summer when all of the restrictions first kind of
Speaker 1: relaxed and hotels were reopening and outdoor dining was reopening,
Speaker 1: and they said, you know, we're going to reopen the
Speaker 1: surf Rider and no one knows yet, so that we
Speaker 1: have a bunch of rooms open, do you want to
Speaker 1: just come stay for a couple of days and um
Speaker 1: hang out like on the beach, Like, um, yeah, that
Speaker 1: sounds great. And right around the same time, a mutual
Speaker 1: friend of me and Chris has had introduced us um
Speaker 1: over text, and I was like, you know, I really
Speaker 1: like to meet this guy, and there's really nowhere to
Speaker 1: do it. That's not weird except for the rooftop restaurant
Speaker 1: at the Surf Rider. It's like the only thing that's open.
Speaker 1: I'm going to be there all weekend by myself. I'll
Speaker 1: just invite him up and see what happens. And so
Speaker 1: we did like a little you know, outdoor dinner and
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know it worked out. Were you open
Speaker 1: to day, like, were you I know that, you know,
Speaker 1: being on lockdown and being home did you know that Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready or was one of those people like I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll just see where this goes. Well, I hadn't
Speaker 1: been UM. I didn't date during lockdown for obvious reasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that was not really possible. But leading up
Speaker 1: to that, I mean I had been dating. I just
Speaker 1: didn't really care. It was sort of like, if the
Speaker 1: right person comes along, then I would consider it. But
Speaker 1: I wasn't actively trying to um, and I think that
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just it was more about It
Speaker 1: wasn't really so much the timing as much as just
Speaker 1: the right person coming along. You know. That's what people say.
Speaker 1: It's the moment you stopped looking, that's when it happens.
Speaker 1: It's so cliche. And that's why I hate to say that,
Speaker 1: because I feel like that's what everyone says to you,
Speaker 1: but it's it's true. So in the little teaser, the
Speaker 1: preview for next week's episode, we saw you know, Adrina
Speaker 1: in the car with Brodie when he's going to meet Kristen,
Speaker 1: and then in the preview it says you you say
Speaker 1: something about wanting if they are doing something together, if
Speaker 1: they're a thing, one of them should have come and
Speaker 1: said something to you first. I mean, I think it's weird.
Speaker 1: I spend a lot of time with all of these people,
Speaker 1: including Brodie and Audrina, and so I would have thought
Speaker 1: it was a little strange if they were hooking up,
Speaker 1: and neither of them ever thought that it would make
Speaker 1: sense to like acknowledge that when we're all together all
Speaker 1: the time. But the thing that I think what you
Speaker 1: don't see in that scene is like everyone at the
Speaker 1: table was making jokes about how Audrina and Brodie would
Speaker 1: be such a good couple and like that they should
Speaker 1: be dating and done that, which I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: disagree with that. I mean, it's that's totally up to them.
Speaker 1: But it was like I wasn't at the table, and
Speaker 1: so it got really awkward because I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't I think it's weird. If I'm chiming in being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you do us to date, you know, it's weird. So
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do because I'm like, and
Speaker 1: I'm here at the table, but everyone's kind of acting
Speaker 1: like I'm not here at the table and um, and
Speaker 1: I would hope that maybe I would know what was
Speaker 1: going on in this situation, but I don't really know
Speaker 1: what's going on. So it's just an awkward moment. So
Speaker 1: we'll all see you next week. We all see you
Speaker 1: next week. Yeah, how that all played out? Will Chris
Speaker 1: ever make good appearance on the show? I think you will.
Speaker 1: I think that's the plan, just a little one gosh
Speaker 1: dash um, yeah, I mean I'm I'm yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: He filmed with us, but again, you never know what
Speaker 1: they actually use and don't use. Good Well, I'm such
Speaker 1: a fan of the show. I'm such a fan of
Speaker 1: yours and I'm so happy for everything going on with
