"We’ve moved several times in our lives, but no matter where we go, for me, this is my forever home," she shared. "When I walked in here, I was like, 'This is the final place where I will live.' I love this house so much." She continued: "I don’t want to sound morbid but they’ll have to carry me out of here feet first because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house."
As for their children, Lola is currently pursuing a career in music in London. The talk show hosts pulled off the "ultimate surprise" on December 12 when they flew to London, England, to watch their daughter, Lola, make her debut performance.
