She debunked the speculation that she was keeping her marriage a secret to avoid it affecting her career or bookings.
The 38-year-old said, “I don’t care what anyone does or says [regarding my personal life]. After all, I’m not a 12-year-old. I’m old enough to say whatever it is I want to say with my full chest. I’m not married.”
