“My mother now lives with us,” explains Kelly. “I was really afraid that I moved away from home when I was 18, but it has honestly been one of the best things ever. She is so helpful. My daughter is so tied to her.”

Kelly says their household speaks “80% Mandarin and 20% English.”

“My partner, William, mostly speaks to her,” she adds. “Me and my mother and her granddaughter talk mostly Mandarin to her. We wanted to let her learn Mandarin first.”

This week’s guest is actress Lindsay Price and recently Bachelor Jenn Trans will be with Kelly for the Season 1 final next Friday March 28. (A second season has already been greenlit).
