The decision was her childish act. She plunged into such a big decision without much of the thinking and it ultimately resulted as the biggest mistake of her life.

She said, ““Oh, yeah, at 25, it was the best and worst decision I ever made. I learned quickly that I don’t need to be married again, but there are people who come into your life for a reason. I love my ex-husband and it has taken us a long time to get back to being friends. I went to break up with him one night when we were going out. He recognized it and said, “Are you going to break up with me?” I said, “Yeah, it’s not working out.” Well, I ended up walking out of that restaurant, drove to Hollywood, got a tattoo on my finger and got married that Saturday. That was me literally living in the moment and thinking, “Maybe he’s right, and maybe I am always running away from relationships. Sure, let’s get married.” Whoops”.”

This statement of hers simply explains how she went crazy at the time and ended up being married without much of a thought. However, she did not disclose the name of her ex- husband.
