However, this tour will be different from others, as she will travel with her five-month-old daughter whom she shares with Robert, whose name has not been revealed.
She reflected: ‘I’m really excited about (taking her on the tour bus). I know it sounds crazy, but I really am. I didn’t have a baby to be like, ‘Oh, I’ll leave her at home for five weeks.’ That’s not even an option. I’m absolutely obsessed with being with my baby, so I would never (leave her).’
She’s under no illusions that it could be a struggle, though, so Robert will pitch in if necessary.
She explained: “If things get crazy and I feel like the baby needs a break, then her dad will come pick her up and she’ll go hang out with him on set. You just have to make it work.”
