The Criminal Minds actress spoke about how much she loves being a mother to little Autumn during a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "It's really great," she said. "She smiles, she's walking, she's waddling like a little penguin, she's an overachiever just like me. It's terrifying! There's gates everywhere that I trip over." Jennifer also revealed that she and Brian chose not to find out the sex of their baby before her arrival. "People are mean to you! They're like, 'Well, then tell us what your baby is', and I'm like, 'I don't know!'," she said.

"And then they guess, which is insulting for the woman because they're like, 'You're really carrying in the backside.' I'm like, 'I have been carrying in the backside since I was 15! This is not pregnancy – it's just who I am!'" Jennifer and Brian, who appeared together on the NBC show Love Bites, started dating in 2012 after reconnecting on the now-cancelled Lifetime show The Client List.
