Explaining the reason behind it, the actress stated that her guardians dealt with the divorce most beautifully, and they never spoke any ill about each other. She narrated:
“In my head, divorce was never really a bad thing because my parents handled their divorce so beautifully. When my other friend was going through something similar, I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was like, ‘Yeah, it will be good for you, it will be great for your family’, because that’s generally how I thought about divorce. My parents never spoke ill about each other and were never cold to the new people who entered their lives. My mom and step-mom are also very good friends.”
