But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world.

Tom Selleck brings in the babes of all ages, I have to tell you. You can be 60, 80, or 16 and still love that man.

There's not a second I regret having a child on my own.

I'm not sure anyone - and I could be wrong in this - grows up thinking, I want to be a single mom.

When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side, even if you're in your 30s, it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this.

But now I have a child, and it's the best thing in the world.

I have become that mother I used to dread.
