“The flight from Paris to Los Angeles was just over 11 hours and the thought of having a flight without babies was like music to my ears,” she said.

‘Am I a horrible person for flying business class while my baby and boyfriend flew economy class?’ she asked at the beginning of the video.

Ellis noticed that she and Rob spend their money differently. While she likes to treat herself to jewelry and fly business class, he prefers to splurge on restaurants.

She recalled how she had to fly alone with Prim in the past and said she was delighted to have Rob help her before they headed to their separate seats.

“The flight from Paris to Los Angeles was just over 11 hours and the thought of having a flight without babies was like music to my ears,” she said.

“I love Prim and I love that little girl with all my heart, but let me tell you, flying long distances alone with a baby is not easy.”

Ellis explained that Rob wanted to fly with Prim because he had never done it before and that she happily let him.

“I said, ‘You know what? It’s completely fine with me. I’ll see you in 11 hours, honey,” she said.

The mother added that she tried to buy her boyfriend one of the available seats in business class, but rejected the idea after discovering that she would also have to pay for a separate seat for her 10-month-old daughter, which would cost thousands of dollars.

‘Rob said my business class seat would be my last push gift, so obviously I was going to accept it. I wasn’t going to leave it like that.

“Rob said the flight was very easy and I know he was lying,” she joked.
