“I always get these messages, or people always tell me, ‘Oh, you’re so strong, I don’t know how you do it.’ They give me no choice. I wish I was. But I’m also raising two kids while this is going on, so Sometimes in our lives, we have to put on our big girl underwear and do it, and that’s what I’m doing.
“But I have moments of sadness every day, pain every day, and I’m really feeling it today on his birthday,” she explained.
Although she seemed to be affected by the situation, Emma Heming praised the positive side of things and thanked the fans for their constant support.
